Guía Terapéutica Antibiótica 2.01 Apk

It is well known that we are in the era of emerging infections by multiresistant microorganisms, there is also a progressive decrease in research and commercialization of new drugs that do not create a very hopeful scenario.

Within the Commission of Hospital Infection Hospital Son Espases (Palma de Mallorca, SPAIN) has sought to promote a more appropriate antimicrobial as one of the possible solutions to use. An essential tool for this is the realization of guidelines and treatment protocols. The Commission has made and continues to emphasize its updating and dissemination. This application puts new technologies for this purpose.

We want to promote the dissemination and use of these guidelines, making them more accessible in everyday clinical practice. The application is intended for physicians and pharmacists in general and includes both general aspects of antimicrobial use (prevention of emergence of resistance, dosing in renal and hepatic dosing in obese patients pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, etc) and guides specific treatment for Appliances (respiratory, digestive, urinary, etc.). Keep in mind that it is local recommendations based on the specific situations of our hospital and antibiotic sensitivity information provided by the Microbiology Service of the Hospital Espases, so that some of the recommendations should be interpreted and adapted to the location of the application user.

A thank you to all the doctors, pharmacists and microbiologists who are or have been part of the Hospital Infection Committee and have contributed to the completion of this work. And a final thanks to all professionals with their day trying to do not only treat the patient with that face daily but also make an effort to minimize collateral damage, always existing, which involves the use of antimicrobials.
