Critical illness imposes pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamics challenges which makes optimizing vancomycin in this population cumbersome. Data ...
In Mexico, the National Institute of Cardiology measures serum level of some drugs, such as vancomycin on a routine basis. Nevertheless, although a large number of measurements are made, the quantification of drug in serum is only used by physicians as a empiric parameter for dose adjustment. ...
Vancomycin serum levels (Cmin and Cpeak), t and Vd were determined in 1 month to 12 year old patients receiving ≥ 40 mg per-kg-per day. Plasmatic levels were measured at therapy onset and during follow up, evaluating the proportion of trough level determinations within therapeutic range, ...
We assessed the practice of TDM of vancomycin and aminoglycosides in an adult intensive care unit. Patients (or Materials) and Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of all vancomycin and aminoglycosides plasma level determinations performed between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2011, in ...

When was trough taken, first level at steady-state or already on vancomycin for weeks? This factor tells you whether vancomycin has already been distributed to the tissue. If it does, one may need to increase vancomycin mo...
vancomycin and daptomycin are used as antibiotics (antibacterial agents)[80]. Apart from natural sources, synthetic cyclic peptides, like, octreotide which is a somatostatin mimetic and hydrocarbon-stabled cyclic peptide targeting MDM2-p53 interactions have been taken into clinical trials[80]....
