Abstract:

When faced with a potential neonatal infection, it is critical to choose the correct antibiotic(s) for the situation. Considering the environment of antibiotic resistance and some of the limitations for antibiotic use in this fragile population, selecting the right drug, dose, interval and monitoring parameters can be life and death decisions. This presentation will help the learner understand the complexities of this problem and provide them with the tools to provide state-of-the-art medical care.
