Fig. 1From: Clinical pharmacokinetics of 3-h extended infusion of meropenem in adult patients with severe sepsis and septic shock: implications for empirical therapy against Gram-negative bacteriaThe best fit curve (a) and the residual plot (b) of a representative patient showing one-compartment PK fitting of meropenem. a Open red dots represent meropenem concentrations at different sampling times. Curve fitting is a mathematical function that has the best fit to a series of data points. b Random distribution of residuals, i.e., difference between the observed concentration and that predicted by the model on the residual plot indicates that the model is appropriate for the dataBack to article page
