The pharmacokinetics of β-lactam antibiotics in critical illness remain poorly characterized, particularly in neonates, children and the elderly. We undertook a pharmacokinetic study of commonly used β-lactam antibiotics in critically ill patients of all ages. The aims were to produce a whole-life β-lactam pharmacokinetic model and describe the extent to which standard doses achieve pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic targets associated with clinical cure.
