Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Adult Heart Transplantation: a French National Survey (ATC)

April 13, 2020 updated by: University Hospital, Caen
The study focuses on the antibiotic prophylaxis use in adult heart transplantation in France.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In adult heart transplantation, clinical situations differ between patients (elective, emergency, redux surgery, ventricular assisting device or extracorporeal live saving). At investigator's knowledge, there is not recommendations in France about antibiotic prophylaxis in adult heart transplantation. So, investigators aimed to study the antibiotic prophylaxis use in adult heart transplantation in France.

Investigators conduct a French national survey about antibiotic prophylaxis used in adult heart transplantation center. Clinical situations such as elective, emergency, redux surgery, ventricular assisting device or extracorporeal live saving are investigated.

Study was performed after Institutional approval was obtained from the local Ethics Committee (Comite de Protection des Personnes Nord Ouest III). An electronic survey was sent to all French adult heart transplantation centers (22) on march 1st, 2015. Reminders were planned on week 2 and 4 after initial sending. On june 2015, nonresponding centers were contacted by phone. Data were collected by a single investigator.
