Dalbavancin Lipoglycopeptide antibiotic with prolonged half life Suitable for extended interval dosing: Single dose and two dose regimens available for use in soft tissue infection Limited published experience on use for other indications
Nurse-led Cellulitis Care Admission Avoidance Open referral criteria: Direct referral from GPs Referral from nursing triage at immediate assessment unit Direct referral from ED Nurse-led assessment and management in hours First dose and discharge to return out of hours Facilitated Discharge Daily ward rounds of the medical receiving units Discharge on OPAT Antimicrobial stewardship Direct admission to ID unit Expedite ID physician review Facilitated discharge of patients with cellulitis from any inpatient area of the hospital

Summary Dalbavancin allows ambulatory management of patients with cellulitis otherwise not suitable for OPAT therapy Dalbavancin is an alternative treatment for the management of patients with complex infections: Those unsuitable for OPAT due to injecting drug use Those intolerant of OPAT alternatives or with challenging IV access Those whose physical frailty makes extended interval dosing useful Limited outcome data and data on dosing in extended courses
