The pharmacokinetics of tigecycline in critically ill adult patients undergoing CVVHD
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction There is growing evidence that pharmakokinetic parameters of commonly used antibiotics may not be optimal in the critically ill patients. Significant changes of pharmacokinetic parameters, including volume of distribution and clearance, could be expected. Recently, dose increases of antibiotics in the ICU have been advocated to maximise their antibacterial activity, especially when severe infections with high bacterial load and/or multidrug resistance are suspected.

Pharmacokinetics of caspofungin in critically ill patients on continuous renal replacement therapy.
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...
متن کاملInitial vancomycin dosing recommendations for critically ill patients undergoing continuous venovenous hemodialysis.
BACKGROUND Delaying appropriate antimicrobial therapy for critically ill patients increases the risk of death. Currently, there are insufficient data to guide initial vancomycin dosing for patients undergoing continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD). OBJECTIVE To develop practical recommendations for initial dosing of vancomycin, based on the pharmacokinetics of this drug in critically ill ...

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...
