Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Critical Care Medicine
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global health threat.
  • Suboptimal antibiotic use contributes to the development of resistant microorganisms.
  • Effective antibiotic stewardship is essential in healthcare settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review control and streamlining measures for optimizing antibiotic use.
  • To emphasize the effectiveness of these measures in the intensive care unit (ICU) environment.
  • To provide a framework for implementing antibiotic management programs.

Main Methods:

  • Organizing antibiotic optimization measures by process: choosing, dosing, delivering, and adjusting.
  • Focusing on evidence-based strategies and their demonstrated effectiveness.
