The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an antibiotic stewardship program (ASP) by carbapenems restriction on gram-negative antimicrobial resistance in ICU. The study was designed in a 21 bedded general ICU of a teaching hospital with two wings (one and two) in Tehran, Iran. Carbapenem pr...

[ 2 ] - A Comparative Study of Intravenous Paracetamol and Fentanyl for Pain Management in ICU
