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 trial tests whether giving the antibiotic ceftazidime earlier and in a more personalized way helps clear infections faster in ICU patients. It may improve recovery by making sure the right dose reaches your body at the right time.
This trial compares two ways of giving a strong antibiotic (meropenem) to ICU patients with pneumonia and sepsis. It aims to see if giving the drug continuously or in shorter intervals works better. This could help clear the infection faster and improve recovery.
This trial tests a computer tool to help doctors choose the right antibiotic for sepsis early on. It may help improve treatment by providing personalized recommendations based on your condition.
This trial tests a type of antibiotic called aminoglycosides to treat early sepsis (a serious infection). It is for adults in the hospital who are sick enough to need strong antibiotics but not in the worst stage of the illness.
This study compares two ways of giving antibiotics to children with sepsis: the usual short infusions versus longer or continuous infusions. The goal is to see if one approach works better or is safer.
