Prophylactic Antibiotics for Open fractures
Initiate as soon as possible; increased infection rate when delayed[1]
Grade I & II Fractures Options
- Cefazolin (Ancef) 2 g IV immediately and q8 hours x 3 total doses[2]
- Allergy to above: clindamycin 900 mg IV immediately and q8 hours x 3 total doses[3]
Grade III Fracture Options
- Treatment as above for Grade I/II
- PLUS aminoglycoside: e.g. Gentamicin 300 mg (1-1.7mg/kg) IV[4]
- Once daily dosing has been shown to be safe and effective
Special Considerations
- Concern for Clostridium (soil contamination, farm injuries, possible bowel contamination): single drug regimen of Pipericillin/Tazobactam 4.5g (80mg/kg) IV TID
- Fresh water wounds: fluoroquinolones OR 3rd/4th generation cephalosporin
- Saltwater wounds: doxycycline + ceftazidime OR fluoroquinolone
