Abstract

Durante el mes de junio de 1984, 34 pacientes del Hospital St.Clare's (Nueva York,EE.UU.) fueron tratados con cefotaxima I.V.Se controló a los mismos con el objeto de verificar si la administración se ajustaba a reglamentos existentes y referidos a presencia de organismos susceptibles, dosis, control de la función renal de reacciones adversas, duración y efectividad de la terapia. El 47,06 % de los casos se ajustaba a lo establecido, mientras que el 52,94% no lo hacia por haberse usado el antibiótico en casos en que éste podía ser reemplazado por otro. Esto inmplicó un despilfarro de U$S4.456,53. Se estableció entonces un formulario para la prescripción de antibióticos con el objeto de controlar la situación.
