THE EFFECTS OF CEFTRIAXONE, TEICOPLANIN AND MEROPENEM ON THE HEMORHEOLOGICAL PARAMETERS

Abstract

Objective: Microcirculatory blood flow is altered in sepsis. Changes in hemorheological parameters may contribute to the alterations in microcirculatory blood flow. This study was conducted to observe the effects of ceftriaxone, teicoplanin and meropenem, commonly used antimicrobial agents in sepsis, on hemorheological properties.
