    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the most used antibacterial drugs according to the clinical diagnoses of patients in the Intensive Care Unit service of the Vesalio Clinic, Lima, 2020. METHOD: The method consisted of using a validated data collection form as an instrument, analyzing data of interest from each patient, such as treatments, diagnoses, comorbidities, complications, and reason for discharge, as recorded in the clinical records. Consumption of antibacterials per day for each patient was also tracked using the hospital pharmacy's own program. The research method was scientific-deductive with a non-experimental, descriptive, and retrospective design. RESULTS: The most used antibacterials in a total study population of 44 patients were Meropenem (24%), Ceftriaxone (16.5%), and Piperacillin/Tazobactam and Vancomycin (13.5% each). CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that Carbapenems, Cephalosporins, Penicillins, and Glycopeptides were the most used groups of antibacterials in various clinical diagnoses such as Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI), Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP), and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
