The application "antibiotics in intensive care: dosage according to renal clearance" is aimed at doctors: the goal is to optimize the use of antibiotics in cases of complex patients.
Patients with pathologies involving many organs are increasingly arriving in the hospital and it is increasingly necessary to calibrate the dosage of antibiotics on the individual patient by evaluating various morphometric parameters and organ function: among these, body weight and renal function assume significant importance in the case of antibiotic therapy.
An incorrect dosage of antibiotics exposes to side effects often due to a clinical and prognostic worsening of the patient.
This application allows us to calibrate the dosage of antibiotics in hospital patients. The dosage is calculated on the weight and calibrated on the patient's creatinine clearance.
Many antibiotics undergo important dosage changes in relation to kidney function and some do not have tests that reveal unwanted effects at very low clearances.
