3 1. PROCEDURE STATEMENT 1.1 Antimicrobial management is a key component of infection prevention and control and prudent antimicrobial prescribing is key to reducing Clostridium difficile associated disease rates. 1.2 This SOP presents recommendations that, if implemented, will help reduce the risk of infection from Clostridium difficile and maintain the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents in the treatment of infections by reducing the risk of antimicrobial resistance developing. 1.3 This SOP should be implemented in conjunction with the policy for the Prescribing of Antimicrobials within the Acute Trust available on the Microbiology Intranet site. 2. KEY PRINCIPLES 2.1 This SOP supersedes all previous guidelines for adults and is designed to cover the majority of inpatient treatment within all Directorates for the indications listed below. 2.2 Specialised areas (Accident and Emergency, ICU, Obstetrics) to maintain their own guidelines but these to reflect the recommendations within the main document. 2.3 Cefuroxime, cefotaxime, clindamycin and ciprofloxacin should be avoided except in the circumstances indicated by this policy. 2.4 Treatment of most infections should not exceed seven days. 2.5 Intravenous antibacterial therapy should be reviewed after 48 hours. Depending on the clinical diagnosis antibiotics may no longer be indicated or an oral agent could be administered. 2.6 All antimicrobials should be reviewed after 5 days and rewritten if necessary. 2.7 Antimicrobial treatment should be modified according to microbiology laboratory results. 2.8 If patient is said to be allergic to an antibiotic, check and record the type and severity of reaction. For further information refer to Guidelines for the management of patients reporting a history of penicillin allergy available on the Microbiology Intranet site. 2.9 For further advice contact s: Dr C Faris ext: 2153 and Dr R Nelson ext: RESPONSIBILITIES 3.1 It is the responsibility of all Clinical Divisional Chairs and consultants to disseminate the SOP to relevant staff 3.2 It is the responsibility of staff prescribing antimicrobial therapy to adhere to this policy. All staff should be aware of the current version of antibiotic SOP and how to access it. 3.3 It is the responsibility of the prescriber to clearly document on the drug board the indications, course length, stop date and review date at the time of prescribing the antimicrobial treatment. 3.4 is responsible to review the SOP regularly and make it available on the Intranet. 2
4 4. LIMITATIONS This SOP is not intended to be comprehensive. Prescribers are advised to consult the British National Formulary (BNF) and the manufacturer s summary of product characteristics for additional information. This is especially relevant for side effects, contraindications, interactions with other drugs and the use of antimicrobials in pregnancy. Advice about individual patients on clinical problems may be obtained from the Consultant Microbiologists: Dr C Faris ext 2153 or Dr R Nelson ext 2943, or via switchboard outside normal working hours. 3
