ECMO Patients' antibiotic levels under the microscope
NCT ID NCT02917486
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how the body processes an antibiotic called piperacillin in intensive care patients who are on a life-support machine (ECMO) compared to those who are not. Researchers wanted to see if ECMO changes antibiotic levels, which could affect how well the drug fights infections. The study included 44 adults with sepsis and used blood tests to measure drug exposure.
