Piperacillin/Tazobactam in Critically Ill Patients With Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is prospective study to assess the pharmacodynamics (t>MIC) of 4.5 g every 6 h of piperacillin/tazobactam in patients with early phase of severe sepsis/septic shock following administration by a 30 min infusion.
Clinical and laboratory data such as age, sex, body weight, electrolyte, vital signs, APACHAE II score, BUN, Cr and fluid balance will be collected.
Fifty patients will be enrolled in this study. Piperacillin pharmacokinetic study will be carried out during the piperacillin/tazobactam therapy.
Each patient received 4.5 g every 6 h of piperacillin/tazobactam within 24 h of severe sepsis or septic shock, blood samples (approximately 3 ml) will be obtained by direct venipuncture at the following time: 0, 0-0.5, 0.5-2, 2-4 and 4-6 h after piperacillin/tazobactam therapy.
Concentration of piperacillin in plasma will be simulated in Monte Carlo technique to get PK/PD index and reported to % PTA and % CFR.

Experimental: piperacillin/tazobactam 4.5 g of piperacillin/tazobactam in 100 ml of normal saline solution was administered via an infusion pump at a constant flow rate 30 min every 6 h |
Drug: Piperacillin-tazobactam
4.5 g of piperacillin/tazobactam in 100 ml of normal saline solution was administered via an infusion pump at a constant flow rate 30 min every 6 h and blood sample were obtained by direct venepuncture at 0, 0-0.5, 0.5-2, 2-4 and 4-6 hour after drug administration

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Concentration of piperacillin in plasma [6 hour after the piperacillin dose]
Concentration of piperacillin in plasma will be simulated in Monte Carlo simulation to assess PK/PD index as 40% and 100% T>MIC and will be reported as %PTA.
