This trial enrolls children in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) who have a severe infection. It aims to better understand germs and drug resistance so future treatments can be more effective.
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.
This trial tests a quality improvement program to help ICUs use fewer antibiotics without compromising patient safety. It looks at how well the intervention works to reduce antimicrobial use in critically ill patients.
This trial looks at how children with severe bacterial infections that start outside the hospital are treated in the pediatric intensive care unit. It helps doctors learn more about these infections to improve care for kids.
This study looks at why some antibiotics given through a vein may reach infections differently in very sick children. It aims to make sure medicines are given in the best way to help children in the intensive care unit recover.
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.
