Higher doses tested to fight deadly infections in hospital
NCT ID NCT02898961
Summary
This study tested whether giving higher doses of two common antibiotics (amikacin and gentamicin) would reach effective levels in the blood of critically ill patients with severe sepsis. Researchers enrolled 63 ICU patients to see if these increased doses achieved target concentrations needed to fight infection. The goal was to improve treatment for this serious condition where standard doses often don't work well enough.
