    Author: Rauniar GP, Das BP, Banerje B, Bhattacharya SK.
    Journal: Nepal Med Coll J; 2006 Mar; 8(1):14-8. PubMed ID: 16827083.
    Abstract:
    A prospective assessment of the current status of prophylactic use of antimicrobial agents (AMAs) for caesarean section deliveries at BPKIHS, Dharan, Nepal was done. Data was collected by systemic random sampling of 349 in patient case sheets. The prevalence of use of ampicillin either alone or in combination with metronidazole was noted in both the elective and non-elective groups, either in the hospital or at discharge, while only 7.0-9.0% of patients receivedAMAs other than ampicillin. Ampicillin has been reported to be an effective AMA in reducing post-partum endometritis and our observation also corroborates with this finding.
