Zusammenfassung:Highlights •Antibiotic dosing in continuous renal replacement therapy in ICU patients is highly challenging. • Over one-third of patients had concentrations outside the therapeutic range. • 24% of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) results manifested unnecessarily high antibiotic concentrations. • TDM is useful for ensuring optimised dosing. • Hospital-acquired pneumonia patients had the highest rates of excessive antibiotic concentrations.
