摘要：
Background: Antibiotic prophylaxis is widely used in surgery for hip fractures. Methods and Results: In a retrospective study of case notes of 100 patients, frequent inaccuracies in dose administration were observed. This was applicable to both the pre-operative and the postoperative doses. Longer time intervals between the doses, failure to administer the prescribed doses, and failure of proper documentation were observed. Conclusions: Improvement in the awareness of staff and timely administration of prophylactic antibiotic has resulted from this study.
