Extra Info
These are considered "clean" procedures.
Variable levels of evidence exist for prophylactic antibiotics. They can be considered for “clean-contaminated” (e.g., causing solid organ cell death/necrosis, TIPS), and are recommended for “dirty procedures” (e.g., those that traverse the gastrointestinal (GI), biliary or urinary tract, or known infection such as abscess).
