“These guidelines are critical in the ongoing work by the Surgical Infection Society to decrease the number of deaths from the most common and severe infections that surgeons see: Infections of the abdomen,” says Surgical Infections Editor-in-Chief Robert G. Sawyer, MD, Dean and Professor of Surgery, Western Michigan University Homer Stryker MD School of Medicine, Kalamazoo, Mich. “Most importantly, these guidelines are applicable across the globe, fostering better outcomes worldwide.”
The guidelines are based on a systematic review of current literature and contain new recommendations and updates. Evidence-based recommendations were developed for antimicrobial agent selection, timing route of administration, duration, and de-escalation; timing of source control; treatment of specific pathogens; treatment of specific intra-abdominal disease processes; and implementation of hospital-based antimicrobial stewardship programs.
