Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To standardize the prophylactic use of antibiotics for pregnant women during peripartum and reduce the irrational use of antibiotics. METHODS Initiated by the Chinese Eugenics Science Association, and led by the First Affiliated Hospital of the Army Military Medical University, clinical, pharmaceutical and evidence-based medicine experts from some domestic medical institutions jointly developed a tiered program of prophylactic use of antibiotics during the peripartum period aiming at the characteristics of pregnant women during the peripartum period by collecting relevant issues, combining national guiding documents, guidelines, expert consensus and literature. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A total of 13 consensus opinions were formed on antibiotic regimens for prophylactic use before, during and after delivery for vaginal delivery, cesarean delivery and for pregnant women with related complications or comorbidities(such as obesity, abnormal glucose metabolism, combined autoimmune diseases, etc.). However, to reduce the overall risk of infection in pregnant women, prophylactic use of antibiotics is just one of the measures. Medical staff must still pay attention to strict disinfection and standard sterilization, and strictly implement balanced nutrition, reasonable control of blood sugar of pregnant women and other comprehensive measures.
