Trial Outcomes & Findings for PK Analysis of Piperacillin in Septic Shock Patients (NCT NCT02306928)

NCT ID: NCT02306928

Last Updated: 2016-02-11

Results Overview

The piperacillin plasma concentration-time profiles were best described by a two-compartment model. Each individual model predicted T\>MIC was compared to clinical breakpoint MIC for P.aeruginosa (16 mg/L). The number of patients who achieved the pre-defined PK/PD target were reported.

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Target enrollment

Piperacillin Pharmacokinetics
Patients with known or suspected septic shock who who required noradrenaline infusion and who were prescribed piperaillin/tazobactam 4g/0.5g (Tazocin®) by the treating physician were eligible for the study. Patients on renal replacement therapy and patients under the age of 18 were not included. Included patients had plasma concentrations of piperacillin, being the active β-lactam component, determined. Age, gender, body weight, APACHE (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation) score on admission, SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) score on day of sampling, amount of noradrenalin-infusion given during the third dosing interval and presence of acute kidney failure (AKI) of each enrolled patient were registered.
