Impact of 30 mg/kg Amikacin and 8 mg/kg Gentamicin on Serum Concentrations in Critically Ill Patients With Severe Sepsis

Summary

Low first-dose peak serum concentrations of amikacin and gentamicin are commonly reported in ICU patients. The present study aimed to assess whether 30 mg/kg amikacin or 8 mg/kg gentamicin achieved target concentrations in ICU patients with severe sepsis.
