Prophylaxis post exposure - Stress ulcer, migraine prophylaxis

Prophylaxis Definition

Prophylaxis refers to any medical or public health procedure whose purpose is to prevent, rather than treat or cure, disease. Vaccines are prophylactic: they are used before illness develop, either being administered to large numbers of people in order to prevent infection, or in some cases (such as the smallpox vaccine) to people who have been exposed to a disease but have not yet become ill.

Postoperative wound infections are the major source of infectious morbidity in the surgical patient. The use of perioperative antibiotics has become an essential component of the standard of care in virtually all surgical procedures and has resulted in a reduced risk of postoperative infection when sound and appropriate principles of prophylaxis are applied.
