Profile of Antibiotic Use and Germ Map in Pneumonia Patients in Pulmonary Space (Case Study at RSUD dr. Iskak. Tulungagung)
Abstract
Pneumonia is an infection of lung tissue caused by bacteria, fungi, viruses or parasites. Antibiotics is a major therapy in pneumonia. The aim of this study was to determine the amount of antibiotic use in DDD / 100 patient-days and to know the profile of germs map in pneumonia patients in Pulmonary Room Dr. Iskak Hospital, Tulungagung during January-June 2017.The design of this research is observational research method with retrospective data retrieval from patient medical record data and antibiotic usage data from Pharmacy Installation and microbiology culture result data of patient, then analyzed descriptively. The results showed the total amount of antibiotic in 130 unspecified pneumonia patients non ICU inpatient in Pulmonary Room Dr. Iskak Hospital, Tulungagung during January-June 2017 was 51.28 DDD/100 patient-days. The most antibiotic types are levofloxacin iv 40, 14 DDD/100 patient-days and ceftriaxone 8.71 DDD/100 patient-days. The profile of the pneumonia-causing germs map cannot be determined because there is no data on microbiological culture test results from the patient.
