Antibiotics are being used very injudiciously

They are being used when surgical intervention is the answer, not the antibiotics (alone)

Hand washing
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated: "It is well-documented that
one of the most important measures for preventing the spread of pathogens is effective
hand aing."

So, it is thought that a breach in any of above can be compensated with:
An “ACHEE” ANTIBIOTICS
Which is synonymous with a “Mahngee” antibiotic

The problem arises:
When the antibiotics is used when not needed
or is not used appropriately when needed

The best antibiotic is one which is appropriate for a particular clinical scenario.
There is no such thing as “achhi antibiotic”
Costly antibiotic is not synonymous with “Achhi antibiotic”

Community Acquired
Community Acquired infections are in their “pure” form
They are usually not resistant to standard antimicrobials
Their behavior is predictable Gram positive in throat Gram negative in UTI etc.

Hospital Acquired
The infection is usually by resistant microbes The pattern in not predictable The infection is usually by mixed flora

Prophylaxis
Peri-operative period needs to be covered The drugs should be broad spectrum The resistant pattern should be kept in mind Dose may be repeated if procedure is
prolonged ( After 1-2 times of the half life of the drug)
Best time for prophylaxis is just at the time of intubation
In some cases the prophylaxis can be started 24 hours before

Sepsis is a serious medical condition
Whole-body is in inflammatory state
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome or
SIRS
A lay term for sepsis is blood poisoning,
more aptly applied to septicemia

Sepsis has systemic implications:
Decreased tissue perfusion.
MOD leading to death
The mortality rate from septic shock is
approximately 50%.

THE TRADITIONAL APPROACH
Initial Use of narrow spectrum antibiotic Most potent drugs reserved
Severely immunocompromised Nonresponders Resistant pathogen
Aim is to avoid antibiotic exposure when infection is not confirmed
Limiting the development of resistance Allowing the control of cost

Initial antibiotic therapy:
Inappropriate: The microbiological documentation of infection in the blood culture that was not effectively treated at the time, the causative microorganism and its antibiotic susceptibility were known.
Appropriate: when at least one effective drug was included in the empirical antibiotic treatment within 24 h of the identification of bacteremia.
This definition is in agreement with recent statements issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The traditional approach may no longer be appropriate in the current era of increasing antibiotic resistance
It is important to recognize that the excess mortality associated with inadequate initial therapy occurred even though the antibiotic could be switched once the culture and susceptibility data became available.
The delay may have been only 2-3 days but by that time, it was already too late.

De-escalation therapy
Changing from the broad spectrum antibiotic to an agent with a narrow focus based on culture data ;changing the focus from multiple antibiotics to a single drug when the suspected organism is not detected by culture; and without fever

DE-ESCALATION THERAPY
STAGE 1 Administer the broadest-spectrum
antibiotic therapy to improve outcomes (decrease mortality, prevent organ dysfunction, and decrease hospital length of stay).
STAGE 2 Focus on de-escalation as a means to
minimize resistance and improve cost-effectiveness

Carbapenems: A Good Choice for Initial Appropriate Therapy in ICU Patients with Serious Nosocomial Infection
