This study looks at how doctors can best manage antibiotics for a common type of blood infection (caused by Enterobacterales bacteria like E. coli). If you join, your treatment will be carefully guided to make sure you get the right antibiotics at the right time, which may help you recover faster and prevent antibiotic resistance.
This study looks at how antibiotics move through the body in adults who are hospitalized. By measuring antibiotic levels in blood (or other body samples), the team may better understand dosing for safer, more effective treatment.
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 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 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 compares two different blood transfusion strategies during major surgery to see which is safer and more effective. If you are having major surgery and might need a blood transfusion, this trial could help guide how your doctors manage your blood levels.
