Abstract
This was a prospective study to determine if pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD)-based antibiotic dosing software aids in achieving concentration targets in critically ill patients receiving cefepime (n = 10), meropenem (n = 20), or piperacillin-tazobactam (n = 19). Antibiotic calculator doses targeting a >90% probability of target attainment (PTA) differed from package insert doses for 22.4% (11/49) of patients. Target attainment was achieved for 98% of patients (48/49). A PK/PD-based antibiotic dosing calculator provides beta-lactam doses with a high PTA in critically ill patients.Entities:
