Antibiotic monitoring in intensive care patients
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how doctors can better monitor antibiotic levels in the blood of intensive care patients with severe infections (sepsis or septic shock). The goal is to see if adjusting antibiotic doses based on these levels improves recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a method to check antibiotic levels in the blood of very sick patients with sepsis. The goal is to see if adjusting the dose based on these levels helps recovery.
This trial tests a new way to quickly measure antibiotic levels in the blood of ICU patients, so doctors can adjust the dose for each person. It aims to make antibiotic therapy more effective and safer.
This study looks at whether giving common antibiotics in certain dose schedules (either through a drip over time or continuously) is done in a way that fits pediatric intensive care needs. It may help improve antibiotic treatment for children who are very sick and need antibiotics.
This study monitors the amount of certain antibiotics in the blood of patients with acute brain injury in the intensive care unit. It aims to make sure the antibiotics are at the right level to fight infection, especially in patients whose kidneys are clearing drugs faster than normal.
This trial checks if giving higher doses of beta-lactam antibiotics (a type of strong antibiotic) right from the start helps people in the ICU with septic shock. It aims to find the best dose to fight the infection quickly.
This study looks at how antibiotics are used in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) to improve treatment and reduce unnecessary use. It may help ensure your child gets the right antibiotics if needed.
