The British Society for Antimicrobial Chemotherapy has published guidelines recommending that all patients with prosthetic heart valves, or those with a previous history of bacterial endocarditis, should receive prophylactic antibiotics before procedures likely to cause a bacteraemia, due to the potential risk of bacterial endocarditis. The guidelines are widely available, notably in the British National Formulary. Two separate and independent surveys of radiologists in this Region showed that there was poor awareness of these guidelines and their implications for radiology departments.
英国抗微生物化疗协会已发布指南，建议所有人工心脏瓣膜患者或有细菌性心内膜炎既往史的患者，由于存在细菌性心内膜炎的潜在风险，应在可能导致菌血症的操作前接受预防性抗生素治疗。这些指南广泛可得，尤其是在《英国国家处方集》中。对该地区放射科医生进行的两项独立调查显示，他们对这些指南及其对放射科的影响认识不足。
