However, the alarming rise in multiresistant perience, we postulate that patients undergoing CRR receive substantially higher doses of colistin (i.e. a high ing dose, followed by a maintenance dose of up to 4 lion IU t.i.d.). Treatment can be continued for a prol time period without increasing toxicity. CRRT count colistin accumulation because the drug is continuou tered and also significantly adsorbed in the bulk of the sis membrane. Implementing such a CRRT rescue th does require the strict use of highly adsorptive dialysis branes in association with citrate anticoagulation to in

45 Conclusions Real-time TDM may improve drug exposure and result in better clinical outcome. High-flow CRRT may prove a valuable tool to achieve acceptable PK/Pd profile for nephrotoxic agents (AG and colistin) in critically ill patients infected with CRE organisms while avoiding drug accumulation and toxicity.
