Pharmacokinetics, Renal Replacement Therapy
Conditions
Brief summary
This investigation is intended to collect safety information for the technique of mixing cefazolin in the CRRT solution on the CRRT circuit, the patient, in addition to collecting information regarding the ability to obtain therapeutic cefazolin serum concentrations
Detailed description
This investigation is intended to collect safety information for the technique of mixing cefazolin in the CRRT solution on the CRRT circuit, the patient, in addition to collecting information regarding the ability to obtain therapeutic cefazolin serum concentrations in addition to utilizing a dosing algorithm to adjust the cefazolin concentration in the CRRT solution.
Interventions
Mixing cefazolin into the CRRT solution(s) for delivery as a continuous infusion

Study design
Intervention model description
1. If cefazolin is part of the empiric or definitive treatment regimen, it will be mixed in the CRRT solution(s) and administered via a continuous infusion to obtain treatment, pharmacokinetic, and safety data . 2. If cefazolin is not part of the empiric or definitive treatment regimen, it will be mixed in the CRRT solution(s) and administered via a continuous infusion to obtain pharmacokinetic, and safety data . 3. If a patient does not require any anti-microbial therapy, cefazolin will be given via the CRRT solution(s) to solely obtain pharmacokinetic and safety data.
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Patients eligible to participate in the study must have a need for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) of any modality: 1. CVVH-continuous veno-venous hemofiltration 2. CVVHD-continuous veno-venous hemodialysis 3. CVVHDF-continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration
Exclusion criteria
Patients will be considered ineligible if they meet any of the following criteria: 1. History of any moderate or severe hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to cefazolin (a history of mild rash followed by uneventful re-exposure and/or red man syndrome is not a contraindication) 2. Any rapidly-progressing disease or immediately life-threatening illness (defined as imminent death within 48 hours in the opinion of the investigator) 3. Any condition or circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the safety of the patient or the quality of study data 4. Females that are pregnant or breastfeeding
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cefazolin serum levels | 72-96 hours | Therapeutic serum cefazolin levels. Serum samples will be obtained at specified intervals during the course of CRRT for cefazolin concentration determination. |
