Cefazolin

So I ordered a gram of IV ENCEF.

And can I say Ancef on the show? Do I need to use the generic? I

think that's fine.

I guess it's a medical podcast, but it's not that kind of medical podcast.

You can say Ancef.

You can say

Cefalexin or whatever you

The cutoff for an exam-indicated/rescue cerclage is twenty-four and zero, ideally earlier.

And again, the big change here is that ACOG does recommend indomethacin and antibiotics, namely Ancef.

That's the one that's narrow-spectrum enough, and there has been some that have looked at extended spectrum or broader coverage, but there's e-even, uh, Azithromax has been looked at.

But the truth is that just a regular old indocin and, and cefazolin seems to do the trick, and you don't need broader antimicrobial coverage.

But let me read you this little excerpt, and then we're gonna wrap up.

Just summarize a few things very quickly, and then we're done.

Quote, "Collectively, available randomized data suggest that periop indomethacin and cefazolin, Ancef, at the time of examination-indicated cerclage may increase the likelihood of achieving a clinically meaningful latency threshold." End quote.

And it talks about the addition of broader antimicrobial coverage has been looked at.
