Home-based continuous antibiotic infusion for children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests whether children can safely receive antibiotics continuously through a pump at home instead of in the hospital. The goal is to help children recover while staying with their family and avoiding prolonged hospital stays.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

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.
This trial tests whether one dose of intravenous (IV) antibiotics is as effective as the usual multiple-dose course for children with complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) who need IV treatment in the emergency department. It aims to reduce hospital stays and the need for repeated IV lines.
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 tests a personalized dosing approach for certain antibiotics (amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, piperacillin-tazobactam, and meropenem) in hospitalized children with serious infections. The goal is to adjust the dose based on blood tests to make sure each child gets the right amount of medicine.
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 trial studies how to give the right dose of common antibiotics to children on ECMO (a heart-lung bypass machine). The goal is to help doctors choose the best dose to fight infections while keeping the child safe.
