This calculator determines pharmacokinetic parameters and vancomycin dosing strategies using the following steps:1. Estimate CLvanco and Vd Empiric dosing (no drug levels): CLvanco and Vd are determined using population estimates from pharmacokinetic models. CLvanco is determined using whichever "Clearance...
This vancomycin calculator uses a variety of published pharmacokinetic equations and principles to estimate a vancomycin dosing regimen for a patient. A regimen can be completely empiric, where the vancomycin dose is based on body weight and creatinine clearance, or a regimen may be calculated based...
Objective: Vancomycin empirical dosing studies in thermally injured patients have netted low successful target attainment and most excluded renal dysfunction, limiting applicability. In a previous study, the authors performed a retrospective analysis of 124 patients' measured pharmacokinetic parameters to ...
Although IV vancomycin generally not recommended as a standard part of the initial antibiotic regimen for empiric anti-infective therapy in patients with febrile neutropenia† [off-label], consideration may be given to adding vancomycin to recommended empiric anti-infective therapy for other specific ...
Impact of a Hospitalwide Increase in Empiric Pediatric Vancomycin Dosing on Initial Trough Concentrations. Study Objective. To evaluate the impact of a hospitalwide increase in the recommended vancomycin starting dose from 45 to 60 mg/kg/day on initial vancomyci... Frymoyer,Adam,Guglielmo,... ...
vancomycin dosing, using a model-informed precision dosing calculator, increases the proportion of patients reaching the therapeutic target AUC/MIC (400–600) between 24 and 48 h after the start of treatment, when compared to the use of standard-of-care dosing regimens with therapeutic drug ...

Predicted troughs of >20 mg/L were infrequent and similar across the dosing approaches (Neo-Vanco, 2.8%; Neofax, 1.0% [P = .03]; Red Book, 2.6% [P = .99]; and Lexicomp, 4.1% [P = .27].CONCLUSION\nA model-based dosing approach that individualizes empiric vancomycin dosing was ...
Study Objectives With increasing prevalence of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus聽aureus , vancomycin is an important empiric treatment for critically ill patients with severe sepsis and septic shock. Vancomycin dosing has been shown to be variable, and guidelines recommend weight-based dosing to improve...
