EVALUATION OF ANTIBIOTIC USE AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF SURGERY, SHAHID BEHESHTI HOSPITAL IN YASUJ, IN 2016

Abstract

Attempts to prescribe and correct the use of drugs, especially antibiotics, have always been considered as a major and major policy goal. Although antibiotics are necessary in most bacterial infections and its lack of use is life-threatening, most studies have shown that 30 to 60% of cases have been misdiagnosed and inappropriate.

Method: This study was a descriptive and analytical study. The data collected from antibiotic use in the surgery department of Yasuj Shahid Beheshti Hospital were collected. During six months, the use of cefazolin, ceftriaxone, clindamycin, ceftazidime, gentamicin, Vancomycin, moropenem, ami-pene clindamycin and metronidazole were randomly assigned to antibiotic culture.

Findings: Of the total 19379 antibiotics consumed over the course of 6 months, 35% of the total antibiotics used are cefazolin, and then 24% is for metronidazole. Separated from ceftriaxone, clindamycin, vancomycin, Imipenem, ceftazidime and Meropenem, the drug was 6 months old.

Discussion and conclusion: Considering the excessive consumption of antibiotics in Iran and the imposition of heavy costs on the health of the baby and the health system, and with the data obtained to date, this study also showed that administration of antibiotics is unnecessary and does not depend on the patient's need. Most cases showed a high percentage of antibiotic resistance, which is consistent with other previous studies.

Therefore, it is necessary to prevent antibiotics from being irrationally consumed by educating both the health system and the people.
