Comments

* risk factors

Smoking, prominent jaw (especially maxilla), diabetes mellitus, use of immunosuppressants, use of bisphosphonates, use of autologous, alloplastic or xenogeneic material with simultaneous placement of an implant.

Otology: Prophylaxis at induction 30 mg/kg, maximum 2 grams; for prolonged procedures: repeat after 4 hours with 15 mg/kg, max 1 gram

Cefazolin meets all criteria, therefore first-line agent

Clindamycin for allergy to beta-lactam agents. See protocol: Beleid bij allergie voor antibiotica | Radboud UMC

Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid for contamination with anaerobes

Note: Pseudomonas and Enterobacterales are not covered by cefazolin

For a number of recommendations there is still a knowledge gap regarding treatment; this will be further investigated. These concern: 

- clearance for chronic otitis media with/without cholesteatoma WITHOUT active pre- or peri-operative otorrhoea

- closure of CSF leak

- extended prophylaxis in skull base surgery

- extended prophylaxis in subtotal petrosectomy in relation to cholesteatoma
