INTRODUCTION
• Critical care patients are at a heightened risk for infections.
• Effective and timely use of antibiotics is crucial.
• Suspect an infection: select antibiotic-optimally treat infection while minimizing
adverse effects.
• Goal is to minimize resistance.
INVESTIGATIONS :
• CBC, LFT, KFT, coagulation profile( D-Dimer ), Serum lactate
• Peripheral blood picture
• aerobic and anaerobic culture from at least 2 different sites
• Urinalysis
• Microbiologic cultures( sputum, urine, intravascular catheter wound, surgical site ,
body fluids)
• ABG
• Imaging( CXR, USG, CT Chest/ abdomen)
• Procalcitonin( rising trend )
Initial Resuscitative Therapy
I. Fluids ( hemodynamic monitoring )
II. Empiric antibiotic therapy ( within first hour)
III.Identification of suspected source
CLASSIFICATION OF ANTIBIOTICS
• BACTERICIDAL
• BACTERIOSTATIC
Antimicrobials classified-
• Time dependent
• Concentration dependent
• Conc dependent with time dependence
• The effect of time dependent AM, such as beta lactams , depend on
cumulative percentage of time over 24 hr by which free AM conc
exceeds MIC .
KILL CHARACTERISTICS
• PD determines relationship between antibiotic conc. & respective
effect on target pathogens, relying on MIC which reflects in vitro
susceptibility of pathogen.
• Therefore, PD connects PK exposure (serum conc.) to drug’s
pharmacological ( killing or growth inhibition capacity) and toxic
effects.
• When MIC increases, PK exposure should do same to guarantee an
optimal PK/PD index.
• In conc dependent antibiotic such as aminoglycosides, their effect
depends on peak conc divided by MIC( Peak/MIC)
• The higher the antibiotic conc, the greater the extent and rate of
bactericidal activity.
• The effect of conc dependent drugs with time dependence, such as FQ
and glycopeptides is determined by AUC 0-24hr divided by MIC
• According to physicochemical properties, antibiotics classified as-
• Hydrophilic( AG, beta-lactams, glycopeptides)
• Lipophilic( FQ, macrolides, lincosamides)
• Hydrophilics are characterized by tissue distribution limited to
extracellular space with majority dependent on renal clearance.
• Lipophilics have intracellular accumulation and dependent on hepatic
clearance.
• Hydrophilics more so than lipophilic drugs affected by PK alterations
in ICU patients( Vd expansion, capillary leakage, volume
resuscitation).
• This will determine need for adjustment of loading and maintenance
dose of hydrophilics.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
COMMON ORGANISMS
Beta lactam antibiotics
MOA- interfere with cell wall synthesis
by binding to penicillin binding
protein(PBP).
Inhibition of PBP leads to inhibition of
peptidoglycan synthesis
•Penicillin G- im and iv
•Penicillin V – oral
•Penicillinase resistance penicillin- methicillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, cloxacillin, dicloxacillin
•Aminopenicillin- effective against Gram –ve bacteria. Ampicillin, amoxicillin
first line therapy for acute otitis media
•Antipseudomonal penicillin-
• Carboxypenicillin- ( ticarcillin, carbenicillin)
• Ureidopenicillin-( mezlocillin, azlocillin, piperacillin)
• Active against Pseudomonas , E coli, kleibsiella, Anaerobes. Lower activity against Gram+ve
• Often used with aminoglycosides when treating pseudomonal infection.
• Parenterally.
• Beta lactamase inhibitor-
• Clavulanic acid- combined with amoxycillin
• Sulbactam- combined with ampicillin (sulbactam is alone used to treat
Acinetobacter)
• Piperacillin+ tazobactam: Penicillin of choice for ESBL organisms
• Dose- 1.5-3g 6hr amoxicillin+sulbactam
• 2.25-4.5g 6hr piperacillin-tazobactam

    TAKE HOME MESSAGE •Initial empirical antimicrobial therapy should be started within 1 hr when infection is suspected. • Investigations , cultures are sent . • Start with broad spectrum antibiotics then de-escalate to narrow spectrum once culture and sensitive available. • ASP and De-escalation- include monotherapy , narrowing antimicrobial spectrum, sparing broad spectrums • Discontinuation of antibiotics in absence of infections. • Tailored treatment.
