Abstract

Studies have demonstrated improved clinical outcomes with extended infusion (EI) piperacillin/tazobactam (TZP) compared to standard infusion (SI). However, there is less evidence on its benefits in non-critically-ill patients. Hospital-wide EI TZP was implemented at our site on February 21, 2012. Our objectives were to compare clinical, safety and economic outcomes between EI and SI TZP.
