    La descontaminación digestiva selectiva (DDS) es una estrategia profiláctica cuyo objetivo es reducir la incidencia de infecciones, principalmente la neumonía asociada a la ventilación mecánica, en los pacientes que requieren cuidados intensivos, previniendo o erradicando el estado de portador orofaríngeo y gastrointestinal de microorganismos potencialmente patógenos. Este libro explica los conceptos básicos de la DDS para ayudar a quienes se dedican a tratar a los pacientes críticos a mejorar los resultados y la calidad de la atención. Esta técnica reduce la morbilidad y la mortalidad, es rentable y segura, ya que no aumenta la resistencia a los antimicrobianos. La aplicación correcta de la estrategia permite a los equipos de las UCI controlar las infecciones, incluso en las UCI con microorganismos endémicos resistentes a los antibióticos. Es de interés para intensivistas, médicos de cuidados críticos, médicos en formación, microbiólogos y enfermeros de UCI, así como para especialistas en control de infecciones y farmacéuticos.
