Physician Antibiotic Guideline for Sepsis Treatment

Appropriate microbiological specimens should always be taken before starting antibiotics. The results should be reviewed to identify if the patient is at risk of sepsis with a more resistant organism, which may not respond to standard first line therapy antibiotics. These guidelines outlined the empirical antibiotic treatment of sepsis in immunocompetent adults.

What  you will get in this guidelines are sections described about General guidance/ Current trends in Antibiotic Resistance, Guidance on initial Antibiotic therapy (by body site: Abdominal Infection, Biliary Infection, Bone and Joint Infection, Cellulitis, Infective Endocarditis, Urosepsis, NB Meningitis and Pneumonia), Algorithm for the Empirical treatment of suspected sepsis of unknown origin, and Vancomycin and Gentamicin dosing/monitoring and calculation of GFR.

Completed detail on antibiotic treatment of sepsis in immunocompetent adults can be viewed in this Physician Antibiotic Guideline of pdf filetype (source: nuh.nhs.uk).
