Decision Support - Used for Guidance of Empirical Treatment of Severe Bacterial Infections
When a patient is suspected to have bacteraemic episode, a blood sample is drawn and empirical antibiotic treatment is initiated. Inappropriate empirical treatment of patients with bacteraemia has a lethality of up to 40%. Only 60% of patients is given a covering treatment. The TREAT-system assists the treating medical doctor when initiating a treatment and current studies shows an increase in covering treatmens of up to 82%.
