why is antibiotics are added after haemodialysis
Answers
Answer:
In hemodialysis patients, post-dialysis treatment with intravenous antibiotics permits even severe infections to be managed on an outpatient basis. Cefepime is a fourth-generation cephalosporin with a broad spectrum of action in monotherapy
Answer:Vancomycin is the most frequently used IV antibiotic in the dialysis setting, accounting for approximately 70% of initial IV antibiotic doses. Some studies have found up to 30% of IV doses administered to patients on maintenance hemodialysis were inappropriate or unnecessary.
Patients who undergo dialysis treatment have an increased risk for getting an infection. Hemodialysis patients are at a high risk for infection because the process of hemodialysis requires frequent use of catheters or insertion of needles to access the bloodstream.
