Summary

Critically ill patients in the intensive care unit often receive continuous hemodialysis to treat their kidney failure. Ertapenem is an antibiotic often used in these patients. Continuous dialysis may remove ertapenem, putting patients at risk for inappropriate treatment of their infection. This study will determine how much ertapenem is removed by continuous hemodialysis.

Conditions

  • Acute Kidney Failure

Interventions

DRUG

ertapenem

One gram ertapenem will be infused intravenously in subjects receiving continuous hemodialysis (CVVHD). Pharmacokinetic sampling in this study will occur with the first dose of ertapenem. While on CVVHD, enrolled subjects will receive ertapenem 1 g intravenously administered over 30 minutes. Two blood samples (5 mL each) will be collected from the arterial (pre-diafilter) port of the CVVHD tubing at time 0 (baseline), ½ hour (end of infusion), 1, 1½, 2, 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours. Effluent (5 mL) will also be collected at these predefined time points from the effluent port of the CVVHD tubing. If ertapenem is discontinued after the first dose then additional samples will be collected at 36 and 48 hours, otherwise ertapenem will be administered as soon as the 24 hour sample is obtained.
