‘Antibiotic Cycling’ – Learn to avoid multidrug resistance!
Keywords:
Antibiotics Cycling, Resistant, morbidityAbstract
Antibiotics are often used rampantly in patients in critical care settings. Sepsis, trauma, ventilator associated pneumonias, adult respiratory distress syndrome and multiorgan failure are difficult to treat .Thus, multiple antibiotics are used to treat the infections. The judicious and rationale use of these antibiotics help in decrease of morbidity and mortality of the critical patients.This case hereby presents the judicious use of the antibiotics and its advantages to treat a case.
