The aim of the work: to analyze the frequency of burn sepsis and the effectiveness of initial antibiotic therapy in adult patients.
Materials and Methods. An analysis of the incidence of sepsis in patients of the Department of Combustiology of the Khmelnytskyi Regional Hospital during 2023–2024 was carried out, as well as the determination of pathogens, as well as the timing and effectiveness of antibiotic therapy.
Results and Discussion. The sensitivity of these pathogens has changed significantly over the years, as resistant strains are being selected. In 14 cases, patients were prescribed a combination of meropenem and vancomycin, in 8 cases piperacillin / tazobactam and tobramycin, in 6 cases aztreonam and tobramycin, and in 2 cases no antibiotic therapy replacement was performed: ceftazidime and amikacin, and cefoperazone / sulbactam and amikacin. The antibiotic therapy scheme was revised after 48 hours and subsequently, after the condition stabilized, de-escalation was carried out. As a result of treatment, mortality in the groups was: meropenem and vancomycin – 3 patients (10 %), piperacillin / tazobactam and tobramycin – 3 patients (10 %), aztreonam and tobramycin – 1 patient (3.3 %) with total mortality in the described groups patients – 23.33 %.
Conclusions. Monitoring of the «microbial landscape» of departments of combustiology indicates a significant presence of microorganisms of the ESCAPE group in 77.1 % and a decrease in the sensitivity of isolates to the main groups of antibacterial drugs during 2021–2023, a high representation of polyresistant strains of A. baumanii in 18.48 %, Kl. Pneumoniae in 11.5 %, and Ps. aeruginosa in 9.6 % of cases.
