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

Eye donation
1.
2. Eye donation is considered one of the most noble acts
of humanity by helping to provide vision to the blind.
The whole eye is not used for transplant. Only a thin
transparent layer called the cornea is used. It can be
compared to the outer lens of a camera.
3. There are approximately 2-2.5 million corneally blind
citizens in India out of which 50% are children below
12 years of age.
Millions die each year but only about 20,000 were
generous enough last year to donate their eyes after
death.
4. Anyone can be an eye donor irrespective of age, sex or
blood group.
However, persons suffering from AIDS, Jaundice,
Rabies, Syphilis, Tetanus and Septicaemia are
considered unfit for donation.
5. It’s simpler than you think!
A timely phone call to the nearest eye bank after
collecting the death certificate is enough.
In many cities in India including Mumbai, there is a
centralized Help Line No. 1919 available round the
clock for eye donation.
6. After death, the eyes need to be removed as soon as
possible i.e. not more than 4 to 6 hours.
It is not necessary to transport the donor to the hospital
after death. The eye banks have personnel who will
come to the donor’s home. The procedure takes not
more than 30 mins.
7. 1. Cataracts or use of spectacles render the
corneas unfit?
Ans. No, both these conditions relate to the lens of the
eye and not the cornea.
2. Eye donation disfigures the donor’s face?
Ans. There is neither any disfigurement nor any
interference with the customary funeral
arrangements.
