Abstract

Introduction

Limited data exist on therapeutic ranges for newer antimicrobials in the critically ill, with few pharmacokinetic studies including patients undergoing renal replacement therapy or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Case Representation

These interventions can potentially alter the pharmacokinetic profile of antibiotics, resulting in therapeutic failures, antimicrobial resistance, or increased toxicity. In this report, we present two ECMO patients treated with cefiderocol and ceftobiprole, where therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) aided in the successful treatment of severe infections. Antibiotic trough concentrations in both cases were consistent with previously reported therapeutic levels in critically ill and ECMO patients, meeting minimal inhibitory concentrations recommended by the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing for the respective pathogens.

Conclusion

Treatment might be suboptimal if doses are not adjusted based on physicochemical properties and extracorporeal support. In an era marked by highly resistant pathogens, these cases highlight the importance of timely access to real-time TDM for optimizing and individualizing antimicrobial treatment.
