Serum Concentration at 24 h With Intensive Beta-Lactam Therapy in Sepsis and Septic Shock: A Prospective Study: Beta-Lactam Blood Levels in Sepsis.

Early administration of appropriate antibiotics has been shown to be among the most effective interventions to reduce mortality in septic patients. We evaluated the attainment of efficacy and safety targets at 24 h associated with the use of intensive beta-lactam therapy in patients admitted to the intensive care unit for sepsis. This was a prospective study with patients who received beta-lactams for sepsis or septic shock between February 2023 and September 2023.
