Study Notes
Penicillin Types
- Methicillin is a narrow-spectrum penicillin with anti-staphylococcal activity
- Amoxicillin/Clavulanate is a combination of a moderate spectrum penicillin (amoxicillin) and a beta lactamase inhibitor (clavulanate)
- Piperacillin/Tazobactam is a broad-spectrum penicillin with antipseudomonal activity
Critical Care Workshop
- The Critical Care Workshop aims to educate healthcare professionals on the management and care of critically ill patients.
Pharmacist Role in ICU
- Pharmacists in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) play a vital role in optimizing medication therapy for critically ill patients.
- This involves medication reconciliation, monitoring drug interactions, and managing complex drug regimens.
Medication Reconciliation
- Medication reconciliation is the process of comparing a patient's current medication list with their previous medication list, ensuring drug safety and preventing medication errors.
Pharmacist Considerations for ICU Patients
- Pharmacists in ICU must consider factors like renal function, hepatic function, potential drug interactions, and patient allergies when managing medication therapy.
Pharmacist Role in Resuscitation
- Pharmacists may assist in the resuscitation of critically ill patients by providing expertise on drug dosages, routes of administration, and potential drug interactions.
