Di bangsal perawatan sebuah rumah sakit, seorang pasien lansia baru saja menyelesaikan terapi antibiotik untuk pneumonia. Kondisinya membaik, ia bersiap pulang. Namun tiga hari kemudian, ia kembali masuk dengan keluhan diare cair lebih dari sepuluh kali sehari, nyeri perut hebat, dan demam.

Garda Depan Kendali Resistensi: Mengoptimalkan Peran Strategis Apoteker Klinis dalam Program Penatagunaan Antimikroba

Krisis resistensi antimikroba mengharuskan apoteker klinis di rumah sakit berperan strategis dalam Program Penatagunaan Antimikroba. Mereka melakukan intervensi prospektif, mengawasi dosis berdasarkan parameter farmakokinetik, serta mengelola data penggunaan antibiotik. Buku "Buku Saku Apoteker Klinis dalam ASP" menawarkan panduan praktis untuk meningkatkan efektivitas terapeutik dan keselamatan pasien.

Navigasi Preskripsi Bijak: Mengintegrasikan Farmakokinetik, Farmakodinamik, dan Seni Pengambilan Keputusan Klinis Dokter dalam Penatagunaan Antimikroba

Dunia medis menghadapi era pasca-antibiotik akibat meningkatnya resistensi antimikroba, yang menyebabkan lebih dari 1,27 juta kematian per tahun. Dokter memiliki peran penting dalam peresepan antimikroba, yang harus berbasis bukti ilmiah. Kewajiban de-eskalasi terapi dan penggunaan panduan klinis membantu mengurangi risiko pengobatan yang tidak tepat.

I know mastodon isn't really the self promoting place that the birdsite was......but I am very proud of this achievement! Last week our university (#vetmeduni #vienna) held an international conference on #veterinary #antibiotic use and #AntimicrobialStewardship for almost 100 researchers from all over Europe, USA, Canada, Argentina etc. and I virtually organised it singlehandedly! I had never organised anything like it before, but I did it, everybody loved it and told me how great it was 😁🐮🐷🐴🐶🐱
Tang et al. show that readability of antibiotic patient information leaflets in cystic fibrosis is poor.
Improving readability may lead to improved health literacy and increased antibiotic adherence, contributing to #AntimicrobialStewardship and #AMR avoidance:

I'm organising an international conference (#AACTING) on #monitoring #benchmarking and #antimicrobialstewardship for #antibiotics in #veterinary #medicine at the Vetmeduni in Vienna in February. We will have lots of #veterinarians as well as the World Animal Health Organisation (WOAH/OIE) and the European Medicines Agency represented. We're all working together for #prudent #antibiotic use and #publichealth
