Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - 24-Hour Prophylactic Cefazolin* Antibiotic Regimen
Treatment: Drugs - 5-Days Prophylactic Cefazolin* Antibiotic Regimen

Active comparator: Short-Arm Antibiotic Regimen - Intervention: 24-Hour Prophylactic Cefazolin\* Antibiotic Regimen

\*or another cephalosporin with equivalent gram-positive coverage in centers where cefazolin is not routinely used or not approved for use

Experimental: Long-Arm Antibiotic Regimen - Intervention: 5-Days Prophylactic Cefazolin\* Antibiotic Regimen

\*or another cephalosporin with equivalent gram-positive coverage in centers where cefazolin is not routinely used or not approved for use


Treatment: Drugs: 24-Hour Prophylactic Cefazolin* Antibiotic Regimen
Pre-Operative Antibiotic Regimen: Patients will receive 2g (or a weight-based dose based on 100mg/kg/day with a maximum single dose of 2g if \< 18 years old) of IV cefazolin within 60 minutes prior to the procedure. No other pre-operative antibiotics will be administered.

Intra-Operative Antibiotic Regimen: Patients will receive 2g (or a weight-based dose based on 100mg/kg/day with a maximum single dose of 2g if \< 18 years old) of IV cefazolin every 3-4 hours. No other intra-operative antibiotics will be administered.

Post-Operative Antibiotic Regimen: Patients will receive 2g (or a weight-based dose based on 100mg/kg/day with a maximum single dose of 2g if \< 18 years old) of IV cefazolin every 8 hours for 24 hours followed by IV saline for 4 days. No other post-operative antibiotics will be administered.

Treatment: Drugs: 5-Days Prophylactic Cefazolin* Antibiotic Regimen
Pre-Operative Antibiotic Regimen: Patients will receive 2g (or a weight-based dose based on 100mg/kg/day with a maximum single dose of 2g if \< 18 years old) of IV cefazolin within 60 minutes prior to the procedure. No other pre-operative antibiotics will be administered.

Intra-Operative Antibiotic Regimen: Patients will receive 2g (or a weight-based dose based on 100mg/kg/day with a maximum single dose of 2g if \< 18 years old) of IV cefazolin every 3-4 hours. No other intra-operative antibiotics will be administered.
