N2 - Parenteral antibiotics are essential in the treatment of nosocomial infections; however, their sodium load and volume should be considered as an extra source, especially, in patients with sodium restriction. In this study, we identified the parental antibiotics used in one of the largest hospitals in Peru. We reviewed the amount of intrinsic sodium and we calculated the sodium load per day of treatment according to the commonly used regimen in adults. As a result, we found that 22% of the antibiotic treatment regimens exceed the daily sodium requirement, which could be harmful for patients with heart failure, chronic kidney disease, liver cirrhosis, among others.
