Greetings all -

I've been trying to find a resource/reference for ABX-only treatment of appendicitis. Before people get upset, I'm looking at this from a perspective of not being able to get someone to a surgeon - I work in a remote portion of the arctic, and weather is periodically an issue preventing transportation; I'd rather have an option than nothing.

We routinely give Timentin 3.1g on evaluation then q6h, and are typically able to get someone to a surgeon with 8-10 hours. For those times when we're unable to transport - any suggestions?

Thanks for the info
