Summary

This was a non randomised, multi center, italian study performed in burn patients receiving an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) in order to treat an active infection. The aim of the study was to validate a pharmacokinetics model useful to verify if a standard dose regimen of ciprofloxacin, given to patients with a compromised metabolism, is a correct dose or instead is over or under dosed.

Clinical Details

Primary outcome: Achievement of a population mean plasma level/time profile for the 400mg i.v. ciprofloxacin aimed to validate a pk model

Secondary outcome: Evaluation of AreaUnderCurve/Minimal Inhibiting Concentration Ratio
