Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

28. Procedures Performed in the Catheterization Laboratory
• Diagnostic procedures
Diagnostic cardiac catheterization:
A catheter is inserted through the skin (percutaneous) into an artery,
usually in the upper thigh or wrist, and then is threaded through the
body's arterial highway to the heart, where a special dye is injected
into the coronary arteries to reveal any possible blockages.
Biopsy:
A diagnostic procedure to obtain a myocardial tissue sample from the
ventricle of the heart aid in the detection of a disease process (i.e.,
myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, etc.) or to monitor rejection after heart
transplant.
30. NEURO CATHLAB
Neuro Cath lab is a diagnostic equipment for performing cerebral
angiography.
Angiography is an X Ray based procedure in which a contrast medium
is injected in the blood stream, which allows to create a clear picture
of blood vessel so that doctor can identify any blockages or
abnormalities.
31. Along with Brain Tumors this advanced Neuro Cath lab
helps to accurately diagnose all types of vascular
malfunctions in the brain such as:
Stroke
Aneurysm
Atherosclerosis
Vasculitis or inflammation of the blood vessels
Blood Clots
Tears in the lining of an artery- Dissection
32. Peripheral Catheterization
• A peripheral catheterization is a
procedure used to detect certain
upper and lower peripheral
extremity conditions. During this
procedure, a long, thin, flexible tube
is inserted into the blood vessel
either in your arm or in the groin and
passed through to the neck. This
catheter allows the doctors access to
perform procedures on the
peripherals.

36. RECORD
KEEPING
• While writing a record we need to ask
ourselves, who is to refer these records.
Records from the Cath lab are referred
majorly by the following groups:
• Lawyers
• The hospital billing and quality control
team
• The medical care givers i.e. doctors,
interns and the nurses.
37. Information
provided in
the records
The Lawyer: They hope
to use the information
to address questions on
the standards of care
and medical errors.
The billing and quality
assurance: need to
understand what has
been done for the
patient, and the
indications for the
procedures and how
they were performed.
The medical caregivers:
want to know what the
status of the patient was
at the time of the
procedure.
39. CASE STUDY
The study examined the effects of new policies
implemented in the Cath lab in June 2014. The policies
resulted from an analysis of Cath lab workflow that
include creating a process flowchart that outlined and
time-stamped every step in a typical patient’s care. Thus
removing the issues that obstruct work-efficiency.
40. The following changes were implemented
Transition from a “block” to a “pyramidal” nursing schedule to ensure that more nurses
would be available early in the day. As these hours are preferred for performing
procedures.
Increased use of an electronic scheduling system that is accessible on any computer and
is displayed in each cath lab room, enabling immediate communication amongst team
members.
Reducing barriers to patient transfer through increased use of a ‘prep’ and holding area.
Establishing a central supply system to reduce time spent for searching equipment.
Downgrading priority to physicians whose cases were not began within 15-30 minutes
of being paged/informed.
41. RESULTS
• Procedure start time improved
• Mean time between cases was
reduced.
• Proportion of full lab usage days
increased.
**Also to be noted there was no increase in
weekend, after-hours or overtime shifts, and
improvements were observed in all measured
aspects of Cath lab employee experience.**
