PHARMACOECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION OF THE RATIONAL ANTIBIOTIC TREATMENT OF THE THERMAL BURNS IN CHILDREN

Abstract

The rational management for the treatment of the burn disease among children provides for the approach deemed to be justified both from the clinical and economic viewpoints. Considering the importance of the antibacterial component in treatment of the burns, the researchers carried out the pharmacoeconomic analysis of the actual antibiotic treatment for the thermal injuries of children, based on the data from the combustiology department of the 2nd Voronezh regional children's clinical hospital. They defined ways to optimize medical assistance to the burnt children at the hospital stage. By means of the mathematical analysis, they proved the economic efficiency of midecamycin, amikacin, gentamicin, ceftazidime and ceftriaxone application.Key words: children, burns, antibacterial treatment, pharmacoeconomic analysis.
