Study of antibiotic use in children’s ICU
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how antibiotics (“anti-microbial” medicines) are being used in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). It mainly includes children who stay in the ICU for more than 48 hours, to better understand and improve safe antibiotic practices.

This study tests a computer tool that helps doctors give the right dose of strong antibiotics to ICU patients. It is for adults who have recently started one of two specific antibiotics.
This study monitors how antibiotics behave in the body for ICU patients being treated for sepsis or septic shock. It aims to learn whether better monitoring can support safer, more effective antibiotic use.
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 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 trial measures how anti-infective medicines move through a child’s body while they are in the hospital or during follow-up. The goal is to better understand dosing and drug exposure in critically ill children.
This study looks at how bacteria in the lungs become resistant to antibiotics. It may help doctors choose better treatments for people with serious lung infections in the intensive care unit.
