A new analytical method for determining beta-lactam antibiotic concentrations in the blood of intensive care patients is to be evaluated. Patients receive antibiotic therapy with beta-lactam antibiotics in the general surgery intensive care unit. Blood samples are collected daily for routine clinical testing; a portion of these samples is used for the new method. The antibiotic levels, routinely measured using the gold standard, are documented and used as a reference point. The goal of the study is to establish a rapid and cost-effective method for determining beta-lactam antibiotic levels, which will subsequently enable rapid dose adjustment.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Blood levels of beta-lactam antibiotics | Blood levels of beta-lactam antibiotics are measured both through routine clinical testing and using the newly developed analytical method. Blood samples are collected once a day for this purpose. Changes in blood levels are monitored over several days. | Daily, approximately 5-10 days from start of anibiotic therapy (and enrollment) to the end of antibiotic therapy |
