Previous anaphylaxis to penicillin Other factors influencing the decision to treat at home are: Frailty Confusion Home circumstances Obesity Alcoholism Patient choice. OPAT Management: 4

5 Trust Guideline for the Management of Multi-resistant Urinary Tract Infection with Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy (OPAT) in Adults On Acute Medical Unit or OPM Ward: Confirm microbiology MSU result, taking note of susceptibilities of organism isolated. Confirm clinical picture that patient has symptoms of an upper or lower urinary tract infection: e.g. frequency, dysuria, haematuria, abdominal (flank or suprapubic) pain, fever, confusion If there are no symptoms consider colonisation with multi-resistant or ESBL producing organism. Colonisation without symptoms of infection does not require treatment. Discussion with Microbiology may be required, in particular if the patient is pregnant. Prescribe antibiotic on EPMA and give the 1st dose Treatment for uncomplicated UTI: Indication Antibiotic course length review date UTI:ESBL producer Or Multi-resistant UTI Ertapenem 1g OD 7 days day 8 Insert cannula, test blood for FBC, U+E, LFT, CRP, and print form for repeat bloods (see below) Refer to OPAT team on ICE. Wait for patient to be accepted before they are discharged. Give the patient letter, and patient information leaflet to patient with instructions of cannula care, plan and date/time of return to ambulatory clinic, and the MAR chart for the community IV nurses. Community IV nurses: Administer treatment daily and check vital signs. Check cannula daily and change appropriately A day prior to review date, repeat bloods: FBC, U+E, LFT, CRP Clinical Guideline for: Management of Multi-resistant UTI with OPAT in Adults Author/s: Dr R Soliman and C Hallam Author/s title: Consultant Microbiologist and Specialist Pharmacist, Antimicrobial Approved by: CGAP Date approved: 14/12/2017 Review date: 14/12/2020 Available via Trust Docs Version: 2 Trust Docs ID: Page 5 of 7
