Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Plasma concentration: cefazolinPeri drug dose administration until cessation of antibiotic therapy or cessation of ECMO support up to a maximum of 4 weeks.

Drug levels will be checked at baseline followed by additional measurements after the dose based on the dosing intervals but anticipated to be 30, 60, 120, 360, 480 minutes after the dose. Dosing regime will be q8-12 hourly pending end organ function (at the discretion of the treating team). The study will be continued for the duration of the Antibiotic therapy whilst on ECMO support and for one set of samples following decannulation.
