Detailed Description
This non-randomized, monocenter pharmacokinetic study will be carried out in critically ill patients receiving multiple dose treatment with echinocandins (caspofungin or anidulafungin).
The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the echinocandins in plasma and BAL will be determined. Especially, the relative contributions of two pathophysiological alterations (capillary leak and hypoalbuminemia) encountered in critically ill patients, will be explored.
Also other correlating covariates will be identified to provide a rationale for optimal dosing strategy in critically ill patients.
