CEFUROXIME Drug Ana

Cefuroxime is a second generation cephalosporin antibiotic given to prevent postoperative infections in appendectomy patients. It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis causing cell death. It should be used cautiously in patients with renal impairment, pregnancy, or lactation due to increased risk of adverse reactions like nephrotoxicity or bleeding when taken with other drugs. Nurses are responsible for administering the correct dosage via IV, educating patients, monitoring for side effects, and discontinuing use if hypersensitivity occurs.
