چکیده

Caspofungin pharmacokinetics was assessed in 27 critically ill patients, including 7 on continuous venovenous hemofiltration (CVVH), 8 on continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD), and 13 not requiring continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Caspofungin exposure during CRRT was very similar to that of the control group and comparable to that in healthy volunteers. Caspofungin clearance by CRRT was very low. Therefore, the standard dosage of caspofungin is probably adequate for critically ill patients undergoing CVVH or CVVHD.

The administration of ciprofloxacin during continuous renal replacement therapy: pilot study.

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is a common technique in critically ill patients. However, there is no uniformity in the pharmacokinetics of ciprofloxacin (CPFX) used during CRRT. The aims of the present study were to estimate the pharmacokinetics of CPFX and to determine the appropriate administration of CPFX for critically ill patients undergoing CRRT. The pharmacokinetics of cipr...

Pharmacokinetics Alterations of Midazolam Infusion versus Bolus Administration in Mechanically Ventilated Critically Ill Patients

There is no randomized study carried out in order to compare their pharmacokinetic parameters although midazolam, as a sedative, has been widely administered via continuous infusion as well as intermittent bolus doses in mechanically ventilated critically ill patients. We prospectively investigated the effect of these two principal methods on pharmacokinetic parameters in 23 of mentioned patien...

Antibiotic dosing in critically ill adult patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy.

Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is now commonly used as a means of support for critically ill patients with renal failure. No recent comprehensive guidelines exist that provide antibiotic dosing recommendations for adult patients receiving CRRT. Doses used in intermittent hemodialysis cannot be directly applied to these patients, and antibiotic pharmacokinetics are different than th...

The blind spot in high-dose tigecycline pharmacokinetics in critically ill patients: membrane adsorption during continuous extracorporeal treatment

We read with interest the paper by De Pascale and colleagues [1] and the accompanying editorial [2] on high-dose tigecycline (TGC) in critically ill patients with severe infections due to multidrug-resistant bacteria. We agree that the currently recommended TGC dose (100 mg loading followed by 50 mg twice daily) may be largely insufficient for treatment of such infections and may promote resist...
