Summary

This study tests whether using changes in procalcitonin levels over time (kinetics) is better than using a single procalcitonin value to decide when to start antibiotics in critically ill patients with suspected infection. About 250 adults in the ICU will be randomly assigned to one of two antibiotic-starting protocols. The goal is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use while ensuring patient safety.
