Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Primary objective The area under the concentration-time curve from 0 - 10h (AUC0-10) for free and total drug will be compared between the control and intervention group. ;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives The maximum (free + total) concentration of cefazolin over the dosing interval (Cmax), minimum (free + total) concentration of cefazolin over the dosing interval (Cmin), the duration of time that free drug concentrations remain above the MIC during the dosing interval (fT%>MIC), the ratio of AUC0-24 to MIC (AUC0-24/MIC), apparent volume of distribution (Vd) and plasma clearance (CL) and colloid osmotic pressure will be compared between the control and intervention group. ;Primary end point(s): AUC0-10 of cefazolin in treatment and control-group;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after 10h

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Maximum concentration of cefazolin during the dosing intervals (Cmax) Minimum concentration of cefazolin during the dosing intervals (Cmin) Area under the concentration-time curve from 0 – 10h (AUC0-10) AUC 0-24 Duration of time that free drug concentrations remain above the MIC during a dosing interval in % (%fT>MIC) albumin und total protein levels colloid osmotic pressure (COP) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: for microdialysis and blood samples after (minutes) 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 240, 360, 480, 600. for albumin/total protein and COP: preoperatively, after start of cardiopulmonary bypass, after termination of cardiopulmonary bypass
