[Short-term antibiotic prophylaxis in colorectal surgery: cefoxitin versus piperacillin. A double-blind randomized study, 60 cases]. 1986

F Armengaud, and J Jobard, and E Bernard, and C Cordero, and J Mouiel, and D Sicard, and P Dellamonica

A randomized, double-blind comparative trial of cefoxitine and piperacillin was conducted in two groups of 30 patients with a similar number of the usual risk factors. Doses of cefoxitine 2 g and piperacillin 4 g were administered only once, except in some cases when the operation lasted more than 5 hours. Analysis of the results showed that the two antibiotics had equivalent prophylactic effectiveness (congruent to 6%) in colorectal surgery.
