To review the recent literature supporting the idea that in some patients suspected of having a new ICU-acquired infection, antibiotics can be withheld until evidence to confirm diagnosis is obtained.
Recent publications demonstrate that in community-acquired pneumonia, severe sepsis presenting to the emergency room, and suspected ICU-acquired infection, the time to antibiotic therapy does not necessarily seem to be a key determinant of outcome.
In the ICU, patients without septic shock but suspected of having an ICU-acquired infection may be able to have antibiotics withheld until infection is confirmed using a combination of laboratory, radiologic, and microbiological data.
回顾近期文献,以支持在某些疑似新发生 ICU 获得性感染的患者中,可在获得确诊依据之前暂时停用抗生素的观点。
近期文献表明,在社区获得性肺炎、急诊严重脓毒症和疑似 ICU 获得性感染中,抗生素治疗时间似乎不一定是决定预后的关键因素。
在 ICU 中,没有感染性休克但疑似发生 ICU 获得性感染的患者,可暂时停用抗生素,直到使用实验室、影像学和微生物学数据组合确认感染。
