Summary
The proposed research project will retrospectively review the anesthetic records over the
past 5 years and identify patients who present with a history of penicillin allergy or
allergy to an antibiotic in the penicillin family. The reason for that history and the facts
on which that allergy are noted will be determined. Additionally, the choice of antibiotic
prophylaxis will be recorded and any adverse effect to that antibiotic noted. We will also
note whether appropriate timing of the antibiotic is achieved.
