Abstract

The authors present the epidemiological data concerning nosocomial infections in their Intensive Care Unit, and discuss an antibiotic strategy statistically oriented by these data. In their experience, treatment based on statistical criteria, brought to a reduction in antibiotic consumption with particular regard to broad-spectrum antibiotics, and to a decrease in individual budget.
