Determining Drug Levels of Beta-lactam Antibiotics in Severe Burned Patients
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Drug Level Monitoring for Antibiotics and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 35 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
At antibiotic stewardship of the University Hospital of Schleswig-Holsten it was noticed that there are much less studies measuring drug levels in severe burned patients than are required. Especially, severe burned patient developing a capillary leak might show lower drug levels than patients without a capillary leak. To compare drug levels of beta-lactam antibiotics, it is the aim of this study to measure pharmacokinetics of Piperacillin/Tazobactam in ICU patients with and without severe burns.
