Design outcomes

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Main objective of the trial is to verify whether the antibiotic administration algorithm for prophylactic use in thoracic surgery currently used at the Cardiac surgery department of the University Hospital in Hradec Králové is effective. Furthermore, the aim of this study is to find out whether systemic antibiotic administration reaches sufficient blood levels at the beggining of surgery and corresponds to therapeutic levels that always exceed the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). ;Secondary Objective: Secondary objective of this study is to find out whether repeated administration of antibiotics in the current regimen is abundant.; Primary end point(s): Parameters of cephalosporin efficacy are evaluated by monitoring the MIC break point (4 mg /l for MSSA). Efficacy parameters are defined by 20 times the level above the MIC of 4 mg/l. Blood levels of cephalosporins will be monitored and the level is expected higher than 350 mg/l after intravenous administrated dose 2 grams. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After all blood samples collection | — |
