[Implementation of standard operating procedures for the initial empirical antimicrobial therapy for adults--a new computer program at the University Hospital Charité].
Nowadays 40-50 % of the patients receive inappropriate antibiotic treatment. Evidence based recommendations are not considered and there is an increasing burden of resistant pathogens. Therefore, standard operating procedures (SOPs) should be implemented considering guidelines and resistant species in the specific ICU. The authors developed algorithms and generated a user friendly computer program available for all ICU physicians all the time.
