Ceftazidime-Avibactam, Continuous versus Intermittent Infusion, clinical study
Brief summary
The objective of this study is to determine whether continuous infusion of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) could improve clinical outcomes in critically ill patients compared with intermittent infusion.
Detailed description
This study employs a prospective, open-label, randomized controlled, multicenter clinical trial design comparing CAZ-AVI continuous infusion versus CAZ-AVI intermittent infusion, .The secondary objectives is to observe the clinical cure, Bacterial clearance, the probability of target attainment (PTA) of TDM. etc
Interventions
Randomize subjects to receive CAZ-AVI via either continuous infusion or intermittent infusion. The total daily dose and dosing interval should be determined according to the subject's body weight, renal function, and estimated drug clearance based on standard prescribing guidelines. Regardless of administration method, the same criteria for dose adjustment (including indications for modification and monitoring parameters) must be consistently applied to both control and experimental groups.
