Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Permanent Pacemaker Implantation A Meta-Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
Background—Infection remains a serious complication after permanent pacemaker implantation. Antibiotic prophylaxis is frequently prescribed at the time of insertion to reduce its incidence, although results of well-designed, controlled studies are lacking. Methods and Results—We performed a meta-analysis of all available randomized trials to evaluate the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis to reduce infection rates after permanent pacemaker implantation. Reports of trials were identified through a Medline, Embase, Current

متن کاملEfficacy of Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Device Implantation
The administration of prophylactic antibiotics before pacemaker or internal cardioverter-defibrillator implantation has been implemented widely and routinely. The acceptance of this practice has occurred despite the absence of rigorous examination or definitive evidence. The existing data for the use of prophylactic antibiotic therapy in device implantation consist of 7 randomized, controlled t...
متن کاملAntibiotic prophylaxis in permanent pacemaker implantation: a prospective randomised trial.
BACKGROUND Pacemaker pocket infection is a potentially serious problem after permanent pacemaker implantation. Antibiotic prophylaxis is commonly prescribed to reduce the incidence of this complication, but current trial evidence of its efficacy is conflicting. A large prospective randomised trial was therefore performed of antibiotic prophylaxis in permanent pacemaker implantation. The intenti...

BERTAGLIA, E., ET AL.: Antibiotic Prophylaxis with a Single Dose of Cefazolin During Pacemaker Implantation: Incidence of Long-Term Infective Complications. Objective: Systemic and localized infections related to permanent pacemaker implantation are not common, but are serious and potentially lifethreatening complications. The aims of this prospective observational study were: (1) to assess the...
