In intensive care medicine, continuous detoxication methods, such as continuous veno-venous hemodialysis (CVVHD), are used for treating acute renal failure. However, in contrast to conventional hemodialysis, little is known about the pharmacokinetics of many drugs administered in this setting and guidelines for dosages of drugs often do not exist. This holds particularly true for broad-spectrum antibiotics, which are often required during intensive care.
