Pharmacokinetic Study of Antibiotics in Patients Assisted by Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (PHARMECMO)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The PHARMECMO study is a pilot, prospective, pharmacokinetic study, conducted in a cardiac surgery intensive care unit of 18 beds. Optimization of antibiotic therapy for extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) patients remains a pharmacological challenge. Clinical studies suggest that individualized dosing strategies and therapeutic drug monitoring could facilitate the achievement of adequate antibiotic concentration. The objective of this pilot study was to observe the pharmacokinetic characteristics of commonly used antibiotics in intensive care for patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Septic patient under ECMO treatment Every adult patient admitted to ICU, under ECMO treatment, with known or suspected sepsis and receiving antibiotic therapy, was eligible for inclusion. The concentration of the studied antibiotics was determined by a combination of liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry from blood samples. For intermittent administration of antibiotic, two successive samples were performed both at 50% (Cmax) and 100% (Cmin) of the dosing interval. |
Other: Antibiotic plasma dosage
Measurement of the concentration of antibiotics administered as part of the routine care of intensive care patients

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Minimum Antibiotics plasma concentration (Cmin) (C min) [Up to 24 hours]
Dosage under steady state conditions of every antibiotics plasma concentration just before the next administration in patients with sepsis and treated by ECMO
- Medium Antibiotics plasma concentration (CT 50) [Up to 24 hours]
Dosage under steady state conditions of every antibiotic plasma concentration in the middle of the interval between two administration (CT 50) in patients with sepsis and treated by ECMO
