Treatment of BSIs typically involves the administration of antimicrobial therapy based on the identified pathogen and its susceptibility profile. Initial empirical therapy may be broad-spectrum, followed by targeted therapy once culture results are available. Additional interventions may include:
Removal or replacement of infected devices Supportive care, such as fluid resuscitation and vasopressors for septic shock Surgical intervention to drain abscesses or debride infected tissue
Close monitoring and adjustment of treatment regimens are essential to ensure optimal outcomes.
