The document discusses principles for antibiotic use in critically ill patients, including:
1) Starting with broad-spectrum empiric therapy based on local microbiological data and guidelines.
2) Reassessing and de-escalating treatment based on culture results and the patient's clinical response.
3) Factors that increase the risk of resistant pathogens like hospital-acquired infections require broader initial coverage.
19. Choose broad-spectrum, empiric treatment regimen based on clinical symptoms and unit-specific antibiogram data and guidelines . Obtain culture prior to antibiotic administration. Obtain and analyze microbiological data Modify regimen accordingly Reassess patient Process for Initial Appropriate Therapy C.Y.T.
