简要总结
To compare and contrast antibiotic use and its effects on patient outcomes before and after the implementation of a PCT protocol in the ICU at Methodist Richardson Medical Center (MRMC).
详细描述
Based on previous clinical trials, current literature supports the use of PCT levels in combination with clinical assessments to help determine optimal antibiotic therapy. On May 30, 2022, MRMC launched a PCT protocol in the ICU that allows clinical pharmacy specialists to order PCT levels in certain bacterial infections. In order to determine the effects of the protocol, a retrospective quasi-experimental review will be conducted
