We aimed to describe anti-infective prescribing practices in critically ill children undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy. Methods An online survey to assess continuous renal replacement therapy, anti-infective prescribing and therapeutic drug monitoring practices was sent by e-mail to physicians working in pediatric intensive care units through the French-speaking Group of Pediatric Intensive Care and Emergency medicine (GFRUP). Results From April 1st, 2021 to May 1st, 2021, 26/40 pediatric intensive care units participated in the survey, corresponding to a response rate of 65%. Twenty-one were located in France and five abroad. All pediatric intensive care units administered continuous renal replacement therapy, primarily with Prismaflex™ System. Anti-infective prescriptions were adjusted to the presence of continuous renal replacement therapy in 23 (88%) pediatric intensive care units mainly according to molecular weight in 6 (23%), molecule protein binding in 6 (23%) and elimination routes in 15 (58%) including residual diuresis in 9 (35%), to the continuous renal replacement therapy flow in 6 (23%) and to the modality of continuous renal replacement therapy used in 15 (58%), pediatric intensive care units. There was broad variability among pediatric intensive care units and among physicians within the same unit. Barriers to therapeutic drug monitoring were mainly an excessive delay in obtaining results in 11 (42%) and the lack of an on-site laboratory in 8 (31%) pediatric intensive care units. Conclusions Our survey reported wide variability in anti-infective prescribing practices in children undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy, thus highlighting a gap in knowledge and the need for education and recommendations.Show less >
