ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how to improve the use of antibiotics in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) for children with infections. The goal is to ensure that patients receive the right antibiotics at the right time, which can help them recover faster and reduce the risk of complications, such as longer hospital stays or infections that are harder to treat. The trial will look into different strategies, like checking patients’ medical history, taking the right samples for testing, and adjusting treatments based on daily evaluations by healthcare teams.

To participate in this study, children must be admitted to the ICU for more than 48 hours. Unfortunately, those who are in the ICU for less than 48 hours won’t be eligible. Participants can expect to be part of a team effort that focuses on effective antibiotic use, which may improve their treatment outcomes. This trial is not yet recruiting patients, but it aims to gather valuable information that could help in managing infections more effectively in critically ill children.
