Abstract

Optimal antibiotic therapy for critically ill patients can be complicated bythe altered physiology associated with critical illness. Antibiotic pharmacokineticsand exposures can be altered driven by the underlying critical illnessand medical interventions that critically ill patients receive in the intensivecare unit. Furthermore, pathogens that are usually isolated in the intensivecare unit are commonly less susceptible and "resistant" to common antibiotics.Indeed, antibiotic dosing that does not consider these unique differenceswill likely fail leading to poor clinical outcomes and the emergenceof antibiotic resistance in the intensive care unit. The aims of this narrativereview were to describe the pharmacokinetics of beta-lactam antibiotics incritically ill patients, to highlight pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic targetsfor both non-critically ill and critically ill patients, and to discuss importantstrategies that can be undertaken to optimize beta-lactam antibiotic dosingfor critically ill patients in the intensive care unit.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 October 2022.
All research outputs
#22,823,736
of 25,443,857 outputs
Outputs from Farmacia Hospitalaria
#307
of 369 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#379,468
of 446,149 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Farmacia Hospitalaria
#7
of 7 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,443,857 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 369 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 446,149 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 7 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
