Antibiotic prophylaxis
Antibiotics given before surgery to prevent infection.
Surgical antibiotic prophylaxis is given within 60 minutes of incision and continued for 24 hours in most cases (longer for some specific procedures like joint replacement and cardiac surgery).
What this means for you: confirm antibiotic prophylaxis is part of the package. Documented protocols (right drug, right time, right duration) cut surgical-site infection rates measurably.
