Summary

Acinetobacter species have emerged as agents of serious nosocomial infections in critically ill patients. Only a few effective antibiotics are currently available for the treatment of this pathogen and, therefore, sulbactam is being considered as an alternative treatment option. The aims of this study were to i) reveal the population pharmacokinetics and ii) assess the probability of target attainment (PTA) of sulbactam in septic critically ill patients caused by Acinetobacter spp. infections.

The study was conducted in septic critically ill patients caused by Acinetobacter spp. Each patient received 2 g every 12 h of sulbactam for 10 days, after which PK studies were carried out on day 4 of sulbactam therapy and a Monte Carlo simulation was performed to determine the probability of attaining a specific pharmacodynamic target.

Conditions

  • Acinetobacter Infections

Interventions

DRUG

Sulbactam

2 g in 100 ml of normal saline solution and administered via an infusion pump at a constant flow rate 1 h every 12 h. Blood samples (approximately 5 ml) will be obtained by direct venepuncture at the following time: 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 12 h after 7th dose of sulbactam
