Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) has been shown to be a significant problem in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country, since it generated an increase in the risk of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), caused by bacterial superinfections caused, mainly by multi-resistant gram-negative bacteria, such as Acinetobacter baumannii, in the clinical picture of patients affected by COVID-19 who were on mechanical ventilation, due to the prolonged hospitalization time in the Intensive Care Units. (ICU). During the COVID-19 pandemic, the problem of the increased emergence of microbial resistance by multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria was worrying, since therapeutic options became scarce, so the need arose to explore treatment alternatives for these hospitalized patients, among which the use of colistin stands out, given that Acinetobacter baumannii shows sensitivity to this medication considered reserve. Furthermore, this choice is motivated by the limitations of first-line antibiotics to combat it due to antibiotic resistance. For this reason, the present research work sought to determine the consumption and cost of colistin within the framework of a drug utilization study (MUE) in the treatment of pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation due to Acinetobacter baumannii in critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU of the Edgardo Rebagliati Martins National Hospital (HNERM) in the period 2020-2021, to generate a source of information on antibiotic monitoring and to promote subsequent studies on prevention and control strategies for the use of reserve medications, such as promote a categorization of consumption into low, medium and high of this medication by the competent authorities and committees. The study was carried out through a descriptive, retrospective and cross-sectional analysis of the physical and virtual medical records and the database of the Department of Pharmacy and the Microbiology Service of 61 patients. From what was analyzed, it was obtained that the annual consumption of colistin was 0.90 and 3.09 DDD/100 beds-day for the periods 2020 and 2021, respectively, showing an average consumption of 2.00 DDD/100 beds-day with a total annual cost of 83,850.00 soles and 287,850.00 soles for the periods 2020 and 2021, respectively, as well as a total cost of 371,700.00 soles for the 2478 vials of 150 mg of colistin administered during the study periods in the ICU services for the condition of our patients. study. In conclusion, it was observed that the consumption and costs of the reserve antibiotic, colistin, increased in 2021 compared to 2020 with a difference of 2.19 DDD/100 beds-day. Therefore, it is essential to improve policies aimed at promoting the appropriate use of antibiotics to prevent resistance to these reserve drugs, which are used as a last resort when first-line antibiotics are not a treatment alternative, so It is essential to understand its use, impact and effectiveness. Despite this, no criteria have been established that indicate whether the level of consumption is within the permitted limits. Therefore, this study highlights the need to establish a categorization of colistin consumption in low, medium and high based on standardized values of the consumption of this reserve antibiotic, which would facilitate precise monitoring of the management of said antibiotic.
