Infection and antibiotic patterns in critically ill patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Our study results indicate that patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation frequently experience antibiotic resistance and the proliferation of Gram-negative bacteria. In our study, antibiotic dosing was inappropriate in approximately one-third of patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Based on these findings, adherence to the literature should be increased while selecting antibiotics and doses for patients.
