Resumen de las recomendaciones GEIPC-SEIMC y GTEI- SEMICYUC para el tratamiento antibiótico de infecciones por cocos gram positivos en el paciente crítico
2007
Objective: In recent years there has been an increase in infections
caused by gram-positive cocci in critical patients, together
with a rapid development of resistance to the antibiotics which are
normally used to treat them. The objective is to prepare an antibiotic
treatment guide for the most common infections caused by
gram positive cocci in critical patients. This guide will help in the
decision-making process regarding the care of such patients.
Method: Experts from two scientific societies worked together
to prepare a consensus document. They were members of the
Study Group on Infections in Critical Patients (GEIPC), which is part
of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology
(SEIMC), and the Infectious Diseases Working Group (GTEI),
belonging to the Spanish Society of Intensive Care Medicine and
Coronary Units (SEMICYUC). There was a systematic review of the
literature published up to September 2006 regarding this type of
infections and the antibiotic treatments marketed to that date. An
evidence grading system was applied according to the strength of
the recommendation (categories A, B or C) and the level of evidence
(categories I, II or III). Recommendations were given if there
was consensus among the experts from both societies.
Results: The antibiotic regimens recommended for treating
infections caused by gram-positive cocci were presented in the
form of tables, showing the recommendation grade. Alternatives
were given for allergic patients. The scientific basis supporting the
aforementioned recommendations is explained within the text and
the references upon which they are based are cited.
Conclusions: A summary of an evidence-based practical
guide for the treatment of infections caused by gram-positive cocci
in critical patients is presented.
