Evaluation of Meropenem Pharmacokinetics in an Experimental Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Model during Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) by Using a PenP
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe use of antibiotics is mandatory in patients during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. Clinical studies have shown high variability in the antibiotic concentrations, as well as sequestration of them by the ECMO circuit, suggesting that the doses and/or interval administration used during ECMO may not be adequate. Thus, a fast response sensor to estimate antibiotic concentrations in this setting would contribute to improve dose adjustments. The biosensor PenP has been shown to have a dynamic range, sensitivity and specificity useful for pharmacokinetic (PK) tests in healthy subjects. However, the use of this biosensor in the context of a complex critical condition, such as ECMO during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), has not been tested.
objectivesTo describe, by using PenP Biosensor, the pharmacokinetic of meropenem in a 24-h animal ARDS/ECMO model.
methodsThe PK of meropenem was evaluated in a swine model before and during ECMO.
resultsThe PK parameters such as maximum concentration (Cmax), elimination rate constant (Ke), and cleareance (Cl), were not significantly altered during ECMO support.
conclusions(a) ECMO does not affect the PK of meropenem, at least during the first 24 h; and (b) PenP has the potential to become an effective tool for making medical decisions associated with the dose model of antibiotics in a critical patient context.
