Treatment For Nosocomial Infections

Take Recommended Antibiotics

Patients with nosocomial infections will need to take recommended antibiotics. Antibiotics, alongside removing any devices in the body, are the first line of treatment for many of the most common nosocomial infections, including pneumonia, MRSA, and urinary tract infections. While patients are in the hospital, they may be given antibiotics through an intravenous line, and these antibiotics may be continued orally once patients are discharged to recover at home. The specific antibiotics given will depend on the type of infection a patient has, and a combination of antibiotics is sometimes needed. Intravenous lines for the delivery of antibiotics will be monitored extremely closely, particularly when dealing with a nosocomial infection, to prevent further complications.
