[Anti-infection prophylaxis in cardiac surgery: comparison of single-dose ceftriaxone and cefamandole in repeat doses].

The efficiency of a single two gram bolus of Ceftriaxone for cardiac operations was evaluated versus a classical, multiple dose, antibiotic prophylaxis using Cefamandole. The results were quite similar in both groups, with a very low infection rate. We conclude that a single bolus prophylaxis using a broad spectrum antibiotic is as efficient as an ordinary, multiple dose technique.
