Elimination of Candida Sepsis and Reducing Several Morbidities in a Tertiary NICU in Greece After Changing Antibiotic, Ventilation, and Nutrition Protocols
After changing antibiotic, ventilation, and nutrition protocols, <i>Candida</i> infections were almost completely eliminated. The incidence of LOS and multiple LOS episodes decreased. Early full enteral nutrition was achieved without adverse effects, and fewer episodes of food intolerance were observed. <i>Candida</i> elimination appears feasible when antibiotic stewardship is implemented in conjunction with other interventions in an NICU.
