Brief summary
WP1.1. PK/PD target attainment: Plasma exposure, Excretion via urine & ELF exposure; WP1.2. Predictive dosing algorithm; WP1.3. ECMO subset
Detailed description
First, the investigators will document exposure to meropenem in plasma and epithelial lining fluid. Moreover excretion in urine will be documented. Second, the investigators will try to identify risk factors for not attaining PK/PD target. Based on significant predictors for target non attainment a predictive dosing algorithm will be constructed. Finally in a small subset of ECMO patients PK exposure will be explored.
