“…We agree with Rybak et al [1,2] that there is apparently no difference in patient outcome associated with continuous infusion, compared with intermittent dosing. Nevertheless, the use of continuous infusion is regarded as a sensible way of administering vancomycin, especially in intensive care units.…”

“…The pharmacokinetic parameter that best describes the efficacy of vancomycin, according to the latest insights into this matter, is a 24-h area under the curve (AUC 0-24 )/minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ratio of у400 [2]. This ratio…”

“…higher effluent flow rates), greater drug clearance is expected, requiring higher doses in order to achieve the same exposure observed with the lower RRT intensity. The enhanced removal of compounds like antibiotics has been proposed as one of the reasons for the failure of benefit seen in critically ill patients with septic shock who received higher RRT intensities which had initially been hypothesized to improve clinical outcomes (Joannes-Boyau et al, 2013;Kielstein et al, 2009).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
