@ASPGuruPharmD I’ve only done higher frequency erta in hypoalbuminemia

@ASP_Chat @BRxAD @IDstewardship @SHEA_Epi @SIDPharm @KelliePharmD @dr_pbailey @PriyaNori What kind of days supply and/or follow up will be implemented for the patients? I’d rather not have doxy be used like a Z pack for “any cough”

@SheenaKandiah @ASP_Chat @BRxAD @IDstewardship @PriyaNori @SHEA_Epi @amylcarr @EB_Hirsch @mmPharmD @DrJRMarcelin @jpogue1 @lodise_tom In a time with so much GNR resistance and altered PK in the ICU - I think less guessing on if we’re therapeutic is better. #ASPchat

@blandman19 @ASP_Chat @BRxAD @IDstewardship @PriyaNori @SHEA_Epi @amylcarr @EB_Hirsch @mmPharmD @DrJRMarcelin @jpogue1 @lodise_tom I can’t remember the baseline resistance here… wondering if even 2 g Q8 of the Mero would’ve made a difference and use of other abx prior to initiation of the meropenem

@ASP_Chat @CLSI_LabNews @IDstewardship @BRxAD @jpogue1 @ErinMcCreary @SIDPharm @SHEA_Epi @EB_Hirsch @BWDionne US Cast offers some great insight into the nitty gritty of the AG and Zosyn breakpoints and data that is out there for them! @jpogue1 #ASPchat

Also realize breakpoint interpretation by both ID and non-ID providers is still a spot for education…

@IDstewardship @ASP_Chat @Sudamonas @BRxAD @SHEA_Epi @KelliePharmD @mmPharmD @dr_pbailey @blandman19 @GermHunterMD @julie_justo @JulieSzymczak Rolling out paxlovid in the hospital is a huge potential cost savings vs using rem pending the cost..
