Eliminating post-operative antimicrobials with Fergus Allerton.

When to use, or rather, when not to use any peri-operative antimicrobials at all. Here we discuss the ENOVAT guidelines on surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis. There is a huge capacity for impact here by following and disseminating these guidelines. If you’re on board already, listen and spread the word. If you’re not converted yet, listen in and see what you think. At the end Fergus asks for your help in submitting cases with E. coli in their bile for an observational study he is actively recruiting for. The guidelines: European Network for Optimization of Veterinary Antimicrobial Therapy (ENOVAT) 2025 guidelines for surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis in dogs and cats. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jsap.70072 Resources we mentioned: IVEG International Veterinary Evidence Based Guidelines Centre (IVEG) - University of Copenhagen https://iveg.ku.dk/ European Network for Optimization of Veterinary Antimicrobial Therapy (ENOVAT) guidelines for antimicrobial use in canine acute diarrhoea. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1090023324001473 ENOVAT website: https://enovat.eu Canine Cruciate Registry https://ccr.rcvsknowledge.org/ Fergus Allerton e-mail address for contributing biliary tract infections to the study: Fergus.Allerton@veterinarycentre.co.uk Retrospective evaluation of surgical site infection after open splenectomies with and without perioperative prophylactic antibiotic coverage https://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/abstract/10.1055/a-2105-3593
