Prospective Observational Pilot-study for the Evaluation of the Nephro- an Neurotoxicity in the Anti-infectious Therapy With Inhalative Colistin Therapy for Patients With Ventilator-associated Pneumonia (VAP)
In Brief
An observational study evaluating TDM, Monitoring of Neuro-and Nephropathology for Infection Resistant to Multiple Drugs. Completed, enrolled 9 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Multi-Drug resistant pathogens (MDR) are reported worldwide with increasing incidence, especially in intensive care settings. One of the drugs which are effective against MDRs, is colistin (polymyxin E). This agent has been reintroduced in response to the increase of MDR pathogens and might be used more often in the future. Data on safety regarding the most important side effects are not sufficiently available. l This study evaluates the toxicity in patients who receive aerosolized colistin.
