Imipenem-cilastatin is a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic drug that has been widely used in clinical practice , but there is a lack of guidelines and expert consensus on the development of individualized regimens for special status populations [e.g. continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT)patients,extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)patients, critically ill burn patients ,neonates and children]. In this paper ,by searching population pharmacokinetics research of imipenem- cilastatin in special status populations ,it is recommended that imipenem-cilastatin is given 1 to 3 g/d for CRRT patients ;500 mg to 1 g,q6 h for burn patients ;750 mg to 1 g,q6 h for ECMO patients ;20 mg/kg or 25 mg/kg,q8 h for neonates ;and 25 mg/kg,q6 h for children.
