ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: The key objective is to evaluate the use of antibiotics in general surgery department using the WHO AWaRe classification and to create awareness among the medical practitioner regarding rational use of antibiotics to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use, and combat antibiotic resistance
METHODS: Data of all the patients who have been admitted in the department of general surgery during the period of 2021-2022 were collected. Demographical details (Name, Age, Gender and history like medical, medication, family and social were recorded. Details of the disease, prescription of drugs, dose, frequency, duration and severity, treatment pattern will be recorded in the predetermined patient data entry form.
RESULTS: A total of 81 patients admitted in the department of general surgery in The Oxford Medical College Hospital and Research Centre during the period of 2021-22 were enrolled in the study based on study criteria. The prescription data of 81 patients admitted in general surgery department were analysed in this study, out of which 59 are males (73%) and 22 were females (27%). Patient admitted in the general surgery department were divided into 6 group. Majority of the patient were likely to fall in the age group of >60 years that is about 34.6% and the least age group is found to be <20 years (7.4%). Inj.Xone was the most commonly prescribed drug (3rd generation cephalosporin) in maximum extent when compared other drugs prescribed. On analysing our prescribed antibiotics, the drugs of Watch group were prescribed to maximum extend when compared to access and reserve group respectively. Which means the result shows that the drugs prescribed are in EML as listed.
