Summary
This study looked at whether giving higher doses of two common antibiotics (amikacin and gentamicin) to ICU patients with severe sepsis helps achieve the right levels in the blood. 63 patients took part. The goal was to see if the higher doses reached target concentrations, not to measure cure or symptom relief.
