Let’s talk about the rational use of antibacterials.
Definition and classification of antibacterial drugs
Antibacterial drugs are chemical substances such as various antibiotics, which are fungicide or antibacterial activity and are primarily used in the whole body. It can be classified as amino sugar slurry, tetracyclic, chloroacin, large cyclopentone, sulfamide, polyazine, etc.
II. Status and problems of use of antibacterial drugs
1. Global and national usage status
In our country, antibacterial drugs are one of the most widely used in clinical medicine, but they are used in an irrational manner, such as unindicated drugs, overdoses, etc. Globally, overuse and inappropriate use of antibacterial drugs have led to increased bacterial resistance and become a global public health threat.
Unreasonable use and hazards
No charge: Some doctors use antibacterial drugs without identifying bacterial infections, leading to drug abuse and resistance.
Overdose: In pursuit of rapid treatment, some patients increase their own doses of antibacterial drugs, which not only increases the risk of drug side effects, but may also lead to treatment failure.
Irregular use of medicines: Some patients do not comply with medical instructions and change their methods of use, time, etc., affecting the effectiveness of treatment and increasing the risk of drug resistance.
Principles and norms governing reasonable use of medicines
1. Clear diagnosis, targeted drug selection
Strict control of anti-bacterial ailments and taboos to avoid abuse. For mild infections or prophylactic drugs, narrow spectrum, low-toxic, low-cost antibacterial drugs should be preferred. Antibacterial drugs are selected based on pathogen strains and drug sensitivity tests to avoid blind use of spectral antibacterials.
Dose, treatment process and route of delivery
Medicines are prescribed in accordance with the medical instructions or medical instructions and may not be reduced or altered at random. The appropriate delivery route and course of treatment are selected according to the area of infection, severity and pathogen type.
3. Prohibition of joint use of medicines and of graft
Joint drug use requires clear indications to avoid unnecessary joint use and to reduce the occurrence of adverse drug effects. Attention is paid to the interaction and taboos of drugs, avoiding drug stress or increasing toxicity. In the case of joint use, care should be taken to adjust the dose and the time of delivery to ensure efficacy and safety.
IV. Patient education and communication strategy
The means of disseminating knowledge include the following:
1. Conduct lectures on anti-bacterial drugs and promote basic knowledge, methods of use and care for patients and their families by inviting medical experts, clinical pharmacists, etc.
2. Develop guidelines and manuals for use, including on mechanisms for the functioning of drugs, adaptability, taboos, adverse reactions, etc., to make them readily accessible to patients. When prescribing anti-bacterial drugs, doctors should explain in detail to the patient the purpose of the drug, the dose, the course of treatment, etc., and increase the patient ‘ s awareness of and dependence on treatment.
3. Production of information materials, design of concise posters, highlighting the importance of rational use of anti-bacterial drugs, and placement in visible positions in hospital waiting rooms, wards, etc. The relevant knowledge of the rational use of anti-bacterial drugs is printed into a folding page to facilitate access to and transport by patients. Electronic screens are set up in areas such as hospital outpatient halls, inpatient departments, etc., to provide rolling information on the rational use of antibacterial drugs. Social media platforms such as Weibo, Weibo Public, etc., are used to publish relevant information and general articles on the rational use of antibacterial drugs, to expand the reach of information, to raise public awareness about the rational use of antibacterial drugs and to increase public awareness.
V. Training and appraisal of medical personnel
Medical personnel are regularly organized to attend training courses on the rational use of antibacterial drugs, including on the types of antibacterial drugs, their adaptability, the principle of their use, and adverse reactions.
