ABSTRACT
Background: In recent years, the effectiveness of various medical and non-medical procedures a patient receives in a critical
intensive care unit, is overshadowed by the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens, especially when associated with
infections related with health care (also known as nosocomial). Their existence, limits the expectations of the therapeutic
options available to hospitals that serve these patients and generates combinations of treatments called «salvage therapy or
rescue »
Objective: To review the effects and benefits of colistin (polymyxin E).
Material and methods: A review of recent published articles that evaluate the administration of colistin (polymyxin E) in
patients with serious infections associated with multidrug agents.
Conclusions: There is a large ammount of literature that considers the return of colistin (polymyxin-E) treatment options not
as an initial choice, but as a rational appeal for special cases caused by Gram negative.
