2293. Revival of Polymyxins: A Single-Center Historical Cohort of Critically Ill Patients in Brazil

摘要

BackgroundThe epidemiological scenario of multidrug-resistant bacteria has brought polymyxins back to medical prescriptions, as they are last-line therapy against carbapenem-resistant bacteria. There is a lack of knowledge of which is the best way to use this drug, especially in critically ill patients. We aimed to evaluate polymyxin use in an intensive care unit (ICU) in a university hospital and to describe its epidemiological characteristics.
