Va Ecmo Infection Beta Lactam Pharmacokinetic Modelling

ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding how the body processes certain antibiotics called beta-lactams in patients who are on a life-support machine known as veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). This machine is often used for patients experiencing severe heart issues, such as cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest. The goal of the study is to identify factors that may affect how well these antibiotics work in these critically ill patients, ensuring they receive the right amount to fight infections effectively.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be patients currently undergoing VA-ECMO and starting a new antibiotic treatment with one of the beta-lactams being studied (like Piperacillin-Tazobactam, Cefepime, or Meropenem). They should also be expected to survive for more than 24 hours and must provide consent, or have someone they trust provide it for them. The study is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to gather important information that could improve antibiotic treatment for patients on VA-ECMO.
