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, ...
aureus infections that demonstrate a vancomycin MIC of 2 mg/L or greater because the target AUC:MIC ratio ( 400) is unlikely to be achieved in this setting. Increasing the dosage to result in higher trough concentrations may increase the potential for toxicity; however additional clinical ...

Validation of A Nomogram for Achieving Target Trough Concentration of Vancomycin: Accuracy in Patients with Augmented Renal Function. Adjustment of initial vancomycin (VCM) dosage has been recommended on the basis of the renal function nomogram in therapeutic drug monitoring guidelines in... Hidetoshi,...
In the US, 60% of vancomycin doses are administered outside the therapeutic range leading to adverse side effects & ineffective treatment Further applications Therapeutic Drug Monitoring - other medications For Example: anti-retrovirals, anti-epileptics, biologics/biosimilars, chemotherapy medications, ove...

The ideal method for monitoring vancomycin remains to be defined although a reasonable case exists for measuring trough concentrations, mainly to ensure efficacy. Teicoplanin is sometimes monitored to ensure efficacy while flucytosine may be monitored to avoid high concentrations associated with toxicity. ...
From June to December 2018, 43 pediatric patients with normal renal function, receiving 15 mg/kg of vancomycin intravenously every 6 hours, were enrolled. The pediatric patients' median age was 2.2 years (range 0.1-15.3). At steady state, vancomycin Cpeak and Ctrough were measured at 2 hours...
vancomycin and few antibioticsimmunoassaysare not commercially available, and only chromatographic methods can be applied for their monitoring in human serum or plasma. Because of complex nature of chromatographic techniques, small- to medium-size laboratories do not have the capability of using such met...
Introduction/Hypothesis: Recommended vancomycin trough goals of 15-20 mcg/mL lack confirmed clinical efficacy and were established to achieve area under the concentration-time curve/ minimum inhibitor concentration (AUC/MIC) value ≥ 400 for organisms with MICs ≤ 1 mg/L. Recent studies have ...
