Objectives In this in silico study we investigate the clinical utility of target controlled infusion for antibiotic dosing in an intensive care unit setting using vancomycin as a model compound.
The Delivery of Drugs to Patients by Continuous Intravenous Infusion Modeling Predicts Potential Dose Fluctuations Depending on Flow Rates and Infusion System Dead Volume Mark A. Lovich MD PhD M. Ellen Kinnealley RN† Nathanial M. Sims MD † and Robert A. Peterfreund MD PhD
Oct 14 2018 Continuous infusion CI dosing is frequently employed to maximize beta lactam efficacy however use of meropenem CI has been limited due to concerns with product instability. Objective The primary objective of this study was to quantify meropenem serum concentrations to reflect drug stability when administered as CI over 8 or 12 h exchanges.
To conduct a multicentre randomised controlled trial RCT to determine whether continuous infusion of a beta lactam antibiotic piperacillin tazobactam or meropenem results in decreased all cause Day 90 mortality compared with intermittent beta lactam antibiotic infusion in critically ill patients. Design The BLING III study is a
Conclusions The limited data available suggest that continuous infusion of β lactam antibiotics leads to the same clinical results as higher dosed bolus administration in hospitalized patients. ABObjective The clinical benefits of extended infusion or continuous infusion of β lactam antibiotics remain controversial.
CONCLUSIONS Continuous infusion of β lactam antibiotics may be a useful treatment strategy for multidrug resistant gram negative infections in the intensive care unit. Well established pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic principles can be used to safely reach and maintain steady state target concentrations of β lactam antibiotics in critical
Rationale Optimization of β lactam antibiotic dosing for critically ill patients is an intervention that may improve outcomes in severe sepsis. Objectives In this individual patient data meta analysis of critically ill patients with severe sepsis we aimed to compare clinical outcomes of those treated with continuous versus intermittent infusion of β lactam antibiotics.
minimum 22 G . Patient suitability for continuous infusion will be at the clinician’s discretion. i. The Cefazolin 24 hour dose can be prepared in an IV bag for administration. a. A loading dose of 50 mg/kg maximum 2 g should be given prior to commencing continuous infusion 150 mg/kg/day maximum 6 g/day . b.

Antimicrobial dosing should take into account factors specific to the patient weight renal function antimicrobial pharmacokinetics pharmacodynamics toxicity and disease state. Intermittent HD assumes high flux hemodialysis. CRRT assumes CVVHD with ultrafiltration rate 2L/h and residual native GFR < 10 mL/min.
The basic principles of using a CONTINUOUS INFUSION of VANCOMYCIN are simple. 1. Give a loading dose based on the patient’s weight actual Body weight usually 25 mg/kg. In obese patients a dose based on adjusted body weigh may be considered. see box 1 2. Give the loading dose over the specified time as per eTG Box 2 3.
of meropenem antibiotics through continuous infusion in patients with sepsis is associated with decreased hospital mortality increased clinical cure rates and greater microbiological eradication. Further high quality studies should be conducted to confirm our findings. Key words sepsis meropenem continuous infusion Reviews
May 01 2007 With continuous infusion administration β lactam tissue penetration appears to be at least similar to and possibly better than is observed with intermittent dosing . Moreover few concentration dependent side effects have been noted and there has been no observable impact on the development of antibiotic resistance 4 .
If your patient does NOT have normal renal or hepatic function please refer to the sections on antibiotic dosing to determine the correct dose or ask your friendly neighborhood pharmacist.

Since the discovery of penicillin it has been known that prolonging the infusion duration originally done as a continuous infusion or more frequent dosing resulted in improved outcomes 7 and 8 however the utilization of prolonged or continuous infusion has remained a matter of debate and much research has been undertaken to understand and
Jul 01 2020 We await the outcomes of the BLING 3 study in 7 000 sepsis patients receiving continuous infusion vs intermittent infusion of piperacillin or meropenem to provide strong clinical insights on this question.
Antibiotic Dosing in Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Alexander R. Shaw and Bruce A. Mueller Appropriate antibiotic dosing is critical to improve outcomes in critically ill patients with sepsis. The addition of continuous renal replacement therapy makes achieving appropriate antibiotic dosing more difficult. The lack of continuous renal
Apr 01 2011 A recent review by Roberts and co workers 31 failed to show any improvement in outcome with extended or continuous infusion of time dependent antibiotics compared with traditional dosing strategies. The authors concluded that there were insufficient clinical advantages to recommend a strategy of continuous infusion in all patient groups but
Sep 26 2012 Patients randomized to the continuous infusion group will receive a one time loading dose of 100 mg/kg over 30 minutes followed immediately by initiation of the continuous infusion. Other antibiotics with activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa are not allowed.
Target Controlled Continuous Infusion for Antibiotic Dosing Proof of Principle in an In silico Vancomycin Trial in Intensive Care Unit Patients Our study shows that adaptive target controlled infusion has the potential to become a practical tool for patient tailored antibiotic dosing in the intensive care unit.

Jun 02 2019 Background The preferred ambulatory IV therapy for cellulitis is often once daily cefazolin combined with once daily oral probenecid C P . However due to a national probenecid drug shortage in 2011 our centre developed a replacement protocol for the administration of cefazolin continuous infusion CCI using elastomeric infusers. Our goal

Among these antibiotics 6 were used in more than 70 of local guidelines and had significant variations in 1 maintenance daily doses for amikacin imipenem/cilastatin ceftazidime and metronidazole 2 loading doses for continuous infusion of vancomycin and 3 dosing intervals for gentamicin and amikacin.
If ‘red man’ syndrome occurs extend the infusion time. If a 10 mg/minute infusion rate is tolerated shorter infusion times may be possible but should not be less than 60 minutes for a 1 g dose 90 minutes for a 1.5 g dose or 120 minutes for a 2 g dose. Blood levels at the frequency determined by the Medical Governor minimum weekly. 7.
