Completed
Conditions
Severe Burn
Antibiotics
Intensive Care
Registration Number
NCT03335137
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein
Brief Summary

At antibiotic stewardship of the University Hospital of Schleswig-Holsten it was noticed that there are much less studies measuring drug levels in severe burned patients than are required. Especially, severe burned patient developing a capillary leak might show lower drug levels than patients without a capillary leak. To compare drug levels of beta-lactam antibiotics, it is the aim of this study to measure pharmacokinetics of Piperacillin/Tazobactam in ICU patients with and without severe burns.
