Abstract

Surgical Site Infection (SSI) is one of the complications of surgery in a hospital. The SSI can increase the morbidity and mortality of patients. The primary prevention in the SSI case is to give the right prophylactic antibiotics following the applicable guidelines, which include the proper indication, the right type, the correct dose, the right time, and the right route for giving prophylactic antibiotics. One of the recommended surgical operations using prophylactic antibiotics is a hernia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of giving preventative antibiotics to patients with hernia cases at a private hospital in South Tangerang from January 2019 - December 2020. This study retrospectively used medical records, and the type of research used was non-experimental with a descriptive design. Based on the data obtained, the administration of prophylactic antibiotics to patients with hernia cases at a private hospital in South Tangerang showed 100% correct indication, 45% correct type, 100% correct dose, 68% timely, 100% correct route of administration of prophylactic antibioti cs.
