The speaker discusses an *antibiotic optimisation programme* in the intensive care unit, aiming for effective infection treatment with minimal adverse effects. They highlight the common problem of *excessive antibiotic use**, often driven by the fear of missing serious infections like sepsis. The presentation covers **basic concepts* of antibiotic use, differentiating between general infections and septic conditions to determine the necessity and type of antibiotics. The speaker advocates for *targeted antibiotic use**, particularly avoiding broad-spectrum agents unless strictly necessary, citing the risk of resistance and side effects. The importance of **de-escalation* (adjusting antibiotics based on microbiological results) and using *shorter treatment durations* is emphasised. The speaker also touches upon their *unit's experience* with an antibiotic management approach, stressing the significance of *understanding local pathogens* and the vital role of *nurses* in preventing infections and implementing safe practices. Finally, they present *data indicators* suggesting their unit uses fewer antibiotics per patient compared to the national average, indicating a potentially positive trend in antibiotic stewardship.
