Antimicrobial Therapy

4. They are being used for
non-infective diseases
www.surgeonjaved.com
5. They are being used when
surgical intervention is the
answer, not the antibiotics
(alone)
www.surgeonjaved.com
6. They are being used for a
period less/more then
required
www.surgeonjaved.com
7. They are being used as a
replacement of basic
aseptic principals
www.surgeonjaved.com
8. 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."
www.surgeonjaved.com
11. 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
www.surgeonjaved.com
12. The problem arises:
When the antibiotics is used when not
needed
or is not used appropriately when needed
www.surgeonjaved.com
20. 1 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”
www.surgeonjaved.com
21. The best basis to
choose an
2 antibiotic is the
microbial culture
and sensitivity
pattern.
Along with the under standing of drug
pharmacokinatics

22. Community
3
Acquired
vs
Hospital Acquired
www.surgeonjaved.com
23. 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.
www.surgeonjaved.com
24. Hospital Acquired
The infection is usually by resistant microbes
The pattern in not predictable
The infection is usually by mixed flora
Hospital
Hospital antibiogram

31. Antibiogram
Selection of an
6 antibiotic for a particular
scenario is not a static
phenomenon
The antibiotics should be rotated from one
generic to another of the same group
www.surgeonjaved.com
32. 7 If antibiotic is not giving
desired results
Please remember that there might be pus
some where in the body
www.surgeonjaved.com
33. 8 Changing the drug vs
Changing the dose
www.surgeonjaved.com
35. 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
www.surgeonjaved.com
36. Clean surgery needing skin and soft infection
First generation cephalosporin
Surgery involving opening of a body
cavity…... 3rd generation cepalosporin
If gut has to be opened mitronidazole has
to be added.
Cardiac surgery Vancomycine

38. Diabetes
Steroids
Anti cancer drugs
AIDS
Lympho-reticular disorders
Anaemia

39. 11
SEPSIS
Hospital Acquired Pneumonia
Ventilator related infections
www.surgeonjaved.com
40. 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
www.surgeonjaved.com
41. Sepsis has systemic implications:
Decreased tissue perfusion.
MOD leading to death
The mortality rate from septic shock is
approximately 50%.
www.surgeonjaved.com
42. 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
www.surgeonjaved.com
43. There is a need for Initial
Appropriate Therapy in the
Treatment of Serious
Infection
The new consences
www.surgeonjaved.com
44. 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.
www.surgeonjaved.com
Chest: May 2003,vol 123,1615-1624
45. 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.

49. 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
www.surgeonjaved.com
50. 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
www.surgeonjaved.com
51. Carbapenems: A Good Choice for Initial
Appropriate Therapy in ICU Patients
with Serious Nosocomial Infection
The carbapenem of choice for initial appropriate
therapy should offer:
Broad-spectrum activity
Proven efficacy
Low potential for resistance
Good tolerability
www.surgeonjaved.com
56. Conclusions: While choosing an
antibiotic:
Consider the patient
Consider the site
Consider the type of bug/s
Consider the drug pharmacokinetics
Consider the dosage
Consider the route
Consider the combination of drugs
Consider the side effects
Consider the cost

There are two stages in the process of DE-ESCALATION THERAPY ™ † . The first stage involves administering the broadest-spectrum antibiotic. This is done to decrease morbidity and mortality, prevent organ dysfunction, and potentially decrease hospital length of stay. DE-ESCALATION THERAPY ™ works on the principle that the best possible regimen for critically ill patients is empiric therapy with a broad-spectrum agent that provides full coverage of all identified pathogens. The concept is that a broad-spectrum antimicrobial that is effective against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria needs to be administered as soon as infection is suspected. 9 This is done to avoid the high mortality and resistance development associated with inadequate antibiotic therapy. 9,11 Of course, it is very important for every institution to have local, current microbiological data in order to assess the likely infecting pathogens and the susceptibility patterns. 8,9 In the early and mid-1990s, several studies were published which suggested that the appropriateness of initial antibiotic therapy was a major factor in hospital mortality rates. 12-16 These studies found that patients who did not receive appropriate initial therapy had higher hospital mortality rates than those patients who received empiric therapy, which provided full antimicrobial coverage. Moreover, once therapy was initiated, switching from inadequate to appropriate therapy did not lower mortality rates. 12,14,17,18 In other words, the consequences of initial inadequate therapy were irreversible. † Trademark of Merck & Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, NJ, USA.
