Clinical Trial Summary

The study is a prospective open trial conducted in 4 centers, and designed to determine if pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters of imipenem, associated with amikacin as empirical therapy, impact microbiological and clinical outcome of patients with Gram negative bacilli (GNB) ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).


Clinical Trial Description

Inappropriate initial antibiotherapy increases mortality of many serious infections. This is the case for ventilator-associated pneumonia, frequently occurring during intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization, and whose 48 first hours of treatment are decisive.

It is well established that pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters of antibiotics are correlated with their clinical and microbiological effectiveness. However in ICU patients, pharmacokinetic parameters of antibiotics suffer great variations, and bacteria responsible for these infections are usually less sensitive to antibiotics, especially Gram negative bacilli (GNB). An important pharmacodynamic variability may occur at the initial phase of the antibiotic treatment, decisive for the infection's outcome.

We propose to evaluate the correlation between pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of the empirical antibiotic therapy and the microbiological and clinical outcome of VAP. ;
