Abstract

Clinical Sciences
Background / Purpose: Extracoproreal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a life saving supportive tool for patients with severe cardiorespiratory failure. However ECMO has a significant impact on pharamcokinetics(PK) of vital drugs that are intended to reverse the pathology which will then result in liberation from ECMO. This mechanistic study aimed to relatively quantify the independent effects of the ECMO device on ciporfloxacin PK.Main conclusion: Critical illness has a major influence on ciprofloxacin PK during ECMO support and the independent effects of ECMO device may not be significant.
