Preventive Antibiotic Serum Levels During Caesarean Section

Background Preventive antibiotic treatment before performing invasive procedures is a basic element in preventing infections. The essence of preventive antibiotic treatment is strengthening the defense mechanisms of the immune system by preserving a certain drug levels in the blood. The timing of giving the antibiotics is very important. Several research groups have tried to check the levels of Cefazolin (the most common antibiotics in the field of obstetrics) in serum and adipose tissue in women during cesarean. These groups presented conflicting research results. OBJECTIVE This study will discuss the preventive antibiotic treatment levels accepted prior cesareans, to determine: 1. What are the factors affecting the level of drug in the blood? 2. Is there a fixed time which beyond it, blood drug levels are below the MIC(Minimal Inhibitory Concentration)? 3. Is the provision of usual preventive care also addresses the situations of metabolic disorder?
