Clinical Outcome Study of High-dose Meropenem in Sepsis and Septic Shock Patients

NCT03344627

Completed 76 enrolled Mahidol University
RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

Sepsis and septic shock patients are considered to have a high risk of complications and death. Appropriate antimicrobial therapy plays an important role in determining outcomes in septic patients. However, pathophysiologic changes associated with critical illness have an impact on pharmacokinetics of antimicrobials. In addition, increasing bacterial resistance is also a growing concern, especially in intensive care units., Consequently, standard antimicrobial dose may not be sufficient to achieve pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic target in sepsis and septic shock patients. The purpose of this study is to compare a therapy between meropenem standard dose and meropenem high dose in the treatment of sepsis and septic shock
