Usage of Meropenem/Gentamicin Versus Ceftazidime/Avibactam in ARDS

June 6, 2020 updated by: King Abdul Aziz Specialist Hospital

Comparative Study Between Usage of Meropenem/Gentamicin Versus Ceftazidime/Avibactam in the Treatment of ARDS Induced by Both Lung Trauma and VAP

This was a prospective double blind study conducted on 200 polytrauma patients admitted to King Abdul-Aziz Specialized Hospital, Taif, KSA between July 2018 and December 2019 in surgical ICU. All patients were having severe chest trauma, contused lungs either with or without severe head trauma.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Patients of Group A received meropenem one gram slowly IV infusion every 8 hours for 14 days and gentamicin 7 milligram (mg)/ Kilogram body weight per day slowly IV infusion once daily only for one week, while patients of Group B received ceftazidime 2 grams and avibactam 500 mg every 8 hours for 14 days in solution for injection(sodium chloride 9 mg/mL (0.9%), sodium chloride 4.5 mg/mL, dextrose 25 mg/mL, 0.45% sodium chloride, 2.5% dextrose and/or Lactated Ringer's solution). The solution for injection should be administered over 120 minutes. • Temperature was measured every 3 hours for 2 weeks. • ABG was done every 8 hours for 2 weeks. • CBC including white cell count was done daily and for 2 weeks. • Complete renal functions daily (urea and creatinine serum level) for 2 weeks. Any patient showing rise in the creatinine level was recorded and excluded from the study. • Chest X-ray for all the patients was ordered after intubation and with onset of ventilation and every 24 hours for 2 weeks. • All patients received anti-stress (Omeprazole 20 mg IV every 12 hours). • Oro-gastric tubes were inserted to all patients and feeding was started within 24 hours.Daily evaluation for conscious level and need for sedation and ventilation were done for all patients. • Tracheobronchial lavage was obtained by bronchoscopy 2 times a week and sent for qualitative culture for 2 weeks. • Blood culture was also taken 2 times per week for 2 weeks. • The planned duration of the study is two weeks from diagnosis of VAP and starting the antibiotics so any patients who failed to be weaned within this period were considered morbidity and recorded.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
