Brief Summary  
Among critical care patients, apart from the patient factors, there is lack of definition
of antimicrobial de-escalation which fits all the clinical scenarios. Additionally, there is no
consensus available for hierarchy of antimicrobials 2. In our study the aim is to evaluate the
scope available for antimicrobial de-escalation, and to determine the impact of the same in
critically ill patients of a tertiary care medical ICU.
