Collaborative Antimicrobial Stewardship for Surgeons.

Collaborative Antimicrobial Stewardship for Surgeons. Infect Dis Clin North Am. 2020 Mar;34(1):97-108 Authors: Robinson ED, Volles DF, Kramme K, Mathers AJ, Sawyer RG Abstract Antimicrobial stewardship efforts that include surgeons rely on healthy and open communications between surgeons, infectious diseases specialists, and pharmacists. These efforts most frequently are related to surgical prophylaxis, the management of surgical infections, and surgical critical care. Policy should be based on best evidence and timely interactions to develop consensus on how to develop appropriate guidelines and protocols. Flexibility on all sides leads to increasingly strong relationships over time. PMID: 32008698 [PubMed - in process]
