Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Despite numerous therapeutic innovations, infection-related mortality in critically ill patients persists as a significant healthcare concern. Early initiation of antimicrobials is essential to improve the clinical outcomes of infections in critically ill patients. Additionally, correct dosage of antimicrobials is extremely important to ensure their adequate exposure. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is the most commonly recommended strategy to evaluate exposure and adapt dosing in critically ill patients.
This Special Issue welcomes all types of submissions (original research papers, short communications, reviews, case reports and perspectives) related to antimicrobial TDM in critically ill patients.
