Reducing antibiotic use in intensive care safely
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a quality improvement program to help ICUs use fewer antibiotics without compromising patient safety. It looks at how well the intervention works to reduce antimicrobial use in critically ill patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older) admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU).
- Your ICU and its infection control team must agree to take part in a program to improve antibiotic use.
- Your ICU must be part of the IMPACTO-MR platform and provide good quality data.
- The ICU and infection control leaders must believe the unit can improve how it uses antibiotics.

This study tests a program to help intensive care units (ICUs) use antibiotics more wisely. It aims to improve how antibiotics are prescribed to reduce side effects and resistance.
This study validates a prediction tool designed to identify which ICU patients are at risk of developing multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria (a serious infection resistant to many antibiotics). The tool may help doctors start appropriate treatment earlier and improve patient outcomes.
This trial looks at whether a rapid molecular test can help doctors choose the right antibiotics faster for hospitalized patients. It aims to improve how antibiotics are used and reduce unnecessary side effects.
This trial tests whether giving doctors a report comparing their antibiotic prescribing to their peers can improve how antibiotics are used. If you are a general medicine patient who stayed in the hospital for a short time, this study may help make antibiotic use safer and more effective.
This study looks at how antibiotics are used in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) to improve treatment and reduce unnecessary use. It may help ensure your child gets the right antibiotics if needed.
This trial tests a new way to quickly measure antibiotic levels in the blood of ICU patients, so doctors can adjust the dose for each person. It aims to make antibiotic therapy more effective and safer.
