The current manufacturing disruption of BACTEC blood culture bottles has drawn attention to diagnostic stewardship around blood culture utilization. In this perspective, we offer strategies for implementing blood culture stewardship using a graded approach based on a hospital's blood culture bottle supply. These strategies should inform plans to mitigate the impact of the shortage on patient care and reinforce fundamental principles of blood culture stewardship.
目前BACTEC血培养瓶的生产中断引起了人们对血培养使用方面诊断管理的关注。从这个角度来看,我们提供了一些策略,用于根据医院血培养瓶的供应情况采用分级方法来实施血培养管理。这些策略应能为减轻短缺对患者护理的影响的计划提供信息,并强化血培养管理的基本原则。
