Great leadership from both societies on this! 👏🏼 👏🏼

A nice push for adoption in NHS units that are not doing it yet.

A simple shift in NHS critical care practice is set to save more lives from #Sepsis.
The @ICS_updates & @BritInfectAssoc now recommend continuous infusion for key antibiotics over intermittent dosing. Evidence shows increased 90-day survival.
We urge all hospitals to adopt this practice immediately
Experts recommend a simple change to antibiotic administration that will save lives in sepsis

Complicated vs uncomplicated should be a definition that can be decided by the first clinician seeing the pt...makes so much sense 👌

IV cefuroxime tid-qid for urosepsis is 1st line in many UK hospitals due to low resistance, to avoid 3GCs & C.diff risk 💩

And the quinolone debate goes on!! #IDsky
