Individualization of Piperacillin Dosing for Critically Ill Patients: Dosing Software To Optimize Antimicrobial Therapy
Piperacillin-tazobactam is frequently used for empirical and targeted therapy of infections in critically ill patients. Considerable pharmacokinetic (PK) variability is observed in critically ill patients. By estimating an individual's PK, dosage optimization Bayesian estimation techniques can be used to calculate the appropriate piperacillin regimen to achieve desired drug exposure targets. Th...
متن کاملIntermittent bolus dosing of ceftazidime in critically ill patients.
Ceftazidime is frequently used in critically ill patients, particularly for the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. The recommended dosing regimen is based on pharmacokinetic data obtained in healthy volunteers and may not be appropriate in the critically ill. We administered ceftazidime in the maximum recommended dose (2 g i.v. every 8 h) to ten critically ill patients with normal ...
متن کاملOptimizing dosing of antibiotics in critically ill patients.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Recent studies suggest that contemporary antibiotic dosing is unlikely to achieve best outcomes for critically ill patients because of extensive pharmacokinetic variability and altered pharmacodynamics. Dose adaptation is considered quite challenging because of unpredictable dose-exposure relationships. Consequently, individualization of antibiotic dosing has been advocated. H...
متن کاملCotrimoxazole - optimal dosing in the critically ill
The optimum dosage regimen for cotrimoxazole in the treatment of life threatening infections due to susceptible organisms encountered in critically ill patients is unclear despite decades of the drug's use. Therapeutic drug monitoring to determine the appropriate dosing for successful infection eradication is not widely available. The clinician must utilize published pharmacokinetic, pharmacody...
متن کاملPharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic-model-guided doripenem dosing in critically ill patients.
The growing number of infections caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens has prompted a more rational use of available antibiotics given the paucity of new, effective agents. Monte Carlo simulations were utilized to determine the appropriateness of several doripenem dosing regimens based on the probability of attaining the critical drug exposure metric of time that drug concentrations remain ab...
