Abstract
ABSTRACT
Imipenem plasma-concentrations were measured in 19 critically-ill children (median 0.8 year, range 0.02-12.9 years). Wide inter-individual variations (2-4x at peak and >10x at through concentrations) resulted in unpredictable plasma-levels in several children. To avoid subtherapeutic drug levels we recommend at least 100 mg/kg/day of imipenem-cilastatin in critically-ill children requiring such therapy.
