Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary parameters in this study will be: * T1/2 (half-life during elimination phase) and Vss (volume of distribution in steady state) of cefotaxime and desacetyl-cefotaxime * Total body clearance, AUC (area under the time-concentration curve), MRT (mean residence time) Interpretation of pharmacokinetic parameters * Plasma concentrations and AUC*s of cefotaxime will be compared to the MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration) of the microbe to be eliminated * Cefotaxime/desacetyl-cefotaxime (cef/des ratio) ratio*s will be calculated to determine liver metabolism * The T1/2 of cefotaxime and desacetyl-cefotaxime will be related to the GFR (glomerular filtration) * All pharmacokinetic parameters will be related to the personal characteristics of the subjects
