amg are not good for pneumonia- poor penetration, in tb they are second line only and in tb bacterial load is generally less, for cns tb yes stm is 1st line, though no guidelines recommend neb abs, amg do reach good levels with neb in lungs as per some evidence. hence can try neb amg in pneumonia
How an antibiotic works has no universal answer. It varies across ICUs depending on what is the antibiogram of ur Icu. If your antibiogram is showing sensitivity to the drug even pip taz will work So please look at the antibiogram for community infections and nisocomial infn in ur hospital What combination works for ur icu may not work fr my ICU All in all this will be good for Community acwuired but cef Avi would be better for nosocomial infn as studies have shown cef avi is superior to colistin even when there is sensitivity and nosocomial is likely to be resistant to mero
@ranjith -- MDR Is found in community as well now ,in fact there is 20-30% prevalance of cre in community in india . If u recall classical teaching for starting antibiotics in icu for community admissions was u should assess for risk factors for mdr and these were - treatment with abs recently, hospital stay, on mhd,etc. However now one gives antibiotics for community infection as per the antibiogram for these pts coming to icu because there is variation from region to region in prevalence of mdr in community as there is widespread mdr in hospitals this has spread to community. one decade ago there was lmtd mdr in community, now its widespread in india
So there already lots of webinars done on infections and antibiotics. Please see playlist of infections Colistin dose in n gfr is 9 MU stat and 4.5MU q12h 12MU is also given as loading if pts weight is more If gfr
The only absolute contra is neuromuscular disease . Can be used in Pregnancy if no better option. Similarly in renal failure modified dose can be given
what antibiotic u give depends on the antibiogram of ur icu . If ur gnb are susceptible u can give mero +amg as empiric rx. Metrogyl is not needed with mero.
dr roshan loading dose of all antibiotics remains unchanged, so u wl give 400 12 hrly 3 doses then 200 od. however higher dose is also used for sick pts ie 800 loading 3 doses then 400 od in ckd
Very important tips for antibiotics
Great info Sir
glad u liked it
aminoglycosides have very good penetration in lung (hence used in MDR/XDR TB), but poor penetration in pleural space.

Some infections disease specialist advice polymyxin-b with meropenem combination as supercombination,how does it work?

Sir why is mdr organism found only in hosp and not from community acquired infection??

What is role of double anerobic coverage in intraabdominal infection like piptaz vs piptaz + metro
pip taz is a weak drug for anaerobic infection. hence need to give metrogyl for iai
sir please arrange more classes on different infections and what is colistin dose sir
So there already lots of webinars done on infections and antibiotics. Please see playlist of infections
Colistin dose in n gfr is 9 MU stat and 4.5MU q12h
12MU is also given as loading if pts weight is more
If gfr
Contra. For aminoglycosides. Is it pregnancy¿mitochondrial disease¿😅
The only absolute contra is neuromuscular disease . Can be used in Pregnancy if no better option. Similarly in renal failure modified dose can be given
If patient has septic shock -Why to give Ceftazidime avi at onset ??Can't we give Carbapenem+aminoglycoside+metro ??
what antibiotic u give depends on the antibiogram of ur icu . If ur gnb are susceptible u can give mero +amg as empiric rx. Metrogyl is not needed with mero.
Ok
Sir wat is loading dose of tiecoplanin in ckd,is it 400mg bd*3dose?and maintance dose?
dr roshan loading dose of all antibiotics remains unchanged, so u wl give 400 12 hrly 3 doses then 200 od. however higher dose is also used for sick pts ie 800 loading 3 doses then 400 od in ckd
