Studies show that the rapid administration of antibiotics has been generally associated with a decrease in deaths among hospitalized patients with sepsis. However, the need to quickly administer effective therapy can lead to clinicians turning to broad-spectrum antibiotics, which can exacerbate antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Because AMR is a major healthcare concern—including for patients with sepsis—improving the alignment between sepsis protocols and antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) guidelines is important for patient care.

Impact of Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs on Patient Care in the ICU
Following their introduction over half a century ago, Intensive Care Units (ICUs) have played an invaluable role in caring for patients who are critically ill or seriously injured. However, infections such as healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a common problem in the ICU, resulting in the frequent use and sometimes overuse of life-saving antibiotics in those settings. While antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a process that naturally occurs over time, it is important to note that the overuse and misuse of antibiotics, even when utilized in intensive care environments, is contributing to the further emergence of resistant pathogens. -
