Abstract:

Shifting Paradigms for Critically Ill Patients with Gram-negative Infections:
Redefining Treatment Strategies

This satellite symposium addresses the challenges posed by antibiotic therapy in the critically ill, particularly regarding the treatment of gram negative infections. It takes a patient-centric approach to the individualization of treatment approaches by considering local ecology, risk factors, clinical symptoms, co-morbidities, guidelines, real world evidence and antimicrobial stewardship principals. Additionally, it will cover how the microbiology lab can be used to enhance antimicrobial stewardship,and discuss emerging therapies for high risk patients.
