|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Intermittent. Piperacillin/Tazobactam, Imipenem, Meropenem | Piperacillin/tazobactam 300mg/kg/day, divided into 4 doses/day, diluted in 5% glucose solution, at a concentration of 50mg/ml, to be administered in 30 minutes infusion every 6 hours.~Intermittent Piperacillin/tazobactam: Piperacillin/tazobactam administered in 30 minutes infusion.~Imipenem 80mg/kg/day, divided into 4 doses/day, diluted in 0.9% saline solution, at a concentration of 7mg/ml, to be administered in 60 minutes infusion every 6 hours.~Intermittent Imipenem: Imipenem administered in 60 minutes infusion.~Meropenem 100mg/kg/day, divided into 3 doses/day, diluted in 0.9% saline solution, at a concentration of 7mg/ml, to be administered in 60 minutes every 8 hours.~Intermittent Meropenem: Meropenem administered in 60 minutes infusion. | 1 | 201 | OG000 |
| Group 2 | Prolonged Infusion. Continuous Piperacillin/Tazobactam, Extended Imipenem, Extended Meropenem | Piperacillin/tazobactam initial doses 75mg/kg in 30 minutes infusion, immediately thereafter continue 300mg/kg/day, diluted in 5% glucose solution, at a concentration of 50mg/ml, to be administered in 24 hours infusion every 24 hours, as determined by antibiotic stability at room temperature.~Continuous Piperacillin/tazobactam: Piperacillin/tazobactam administered in 24 hours infusion.~Imipenem initial doses 20mg/kg in 60 minutes infusion, immediately thereafter continue 80mg/kg/day, divided into 4 doses/day, diluted in 0.9% saline solution, at a concentration of 7mg/ml, to be administered in 6 hours infusion every 6 hours, as determined by antibiotic stability at room temperature.~Extended Imipenem: Imipenem administered in 6 hours infusion.~Meropenem initial doses 35mg/kg in 60 minutes infusion, immediately thereafter continue 100mg/kg/day, divided into 3 doses/day, diluted in 0.9% saline solution at a concentration of 7mg/ml, to be administered in 8 hours infusion every 8 hours, as determined by antibiotic stability at room temperature.~Extended Meropenem: Meropenem administered in 8 hours infusion. | 3 | 202 | OG001 |
