AMR Surveillance Clinic // 9 December // Primer on Antibiotic stewardship

Sayın Meslektaşlarımız,

Dünya Sağlık Örgütü Avrupa Bölge Ofisi tarafından, Ulusal Antimikrobiyal Direnç Sürveyans Ağı’mızın dahil olduğu DSÖ-Orta Asya ve Avrupa AMD Sürveyans Ağı (CAESAR) kapsamında, her ay AMD Sürveyans Klinik Paylaşım toplantıları düzenlenmektedir. Önümüzdeki toplantı 9 Aralık 2021 saat 11:00 - 12:30, Türkiye saati ile yapılacak olup toplantının konusu hastanelerde akılcı AB kullanımı ve antimikrobiyal yönetişimdir. Söz konusu toplantılar kapsamında özellikle katılımcılardan (webinardan önce) bazı örnek vakalar paylaşılması ve webinar sırasında inter aktif bir şekilde tartışılması yapılmaktadır. Bu toplantıya ülkemiz uzmanlarının katılımı ve bir ya da iki vaka paylaşımı konusunda bizden yardım talep edilmiştir. DSÖ Avrupa Ofisinden gelen maili aşağıda görebilisiniz. Bu çalışma, özellikle asistan arkadaşlarımız için faydalı olacaktır.

Dear colleagues,  

We kindly invite you to the third AMR Surveillance Clinic on Thursday, 9 December with Prof Håkan Hanberger, from 9 am to 10.30 am (Copenhagen time). The topic is “Primer on Antibiotic stewardship". In this session, Prof Hanberger will discuss the rational use of antibiotics for the treatment of systemic infections at somatic hospitals with acute care function. Particular focus will be paid to the empirical treatment of the febrile patient arriving at the hospital with a new and yet undiagnosed bacterial infection, including choice of antibiotics in the absence of empirical treatment guidelines, de-escalation during treatment, change of treatment during the course of the infection.

To enhance the learning experience, and for the opportunity to receive feedback specific to your situation, we kindly ask you to prepare and share with us, no later than Friday 3 December, one uncomplicated clinical case with a brief background regarding the antibiotic treatment chosen and the course of the infection and one complicated clinical case, where the course of the disease and the choice of antibiotic treatment proved to be challenging. In addition, we suggest you take some time to go through the online lectures part of the course “Antimicrobial Stewardship: A competency-based approach” (link here). Watching these videos before the meeting will greatly boost your learning process and enhance your ability to interact with our experts. The videos are available both in English and Russian.  

Prof Håkan Hanberger is a senior consultant in infectious diseases in critical care, professor at the University of Linköping, and chair of the Swedish Reference Group of Antibiotic and WHO consultant. He is the leader of a research group studying antibiotic resistance (ABR) and hospital-acquired infections (HAI) in low/middle- and high-income countries. His interests are in the fields of surviving, sepsis, critical care, interventions against ABR and HAI, and mechanisms of ABR.
