Population Pharmacodynamics of Midazolam Administered by Target Controlled Infusion in SICU Patients after CABG Surgery 

Abstract: Despite previous reports of high interindividual variability in midazolam pharmacodynamics in patients in the surgical intensive care unit, these cross-validation results suggest that, when midazolam is administered using a target-controlled infusion device, the level of sedation can be predicted within 1 sedation score in 88% of patients based on the target midazolam concentration and the time since the conclusion of the anesthetic.

“…To describe the possible time course of pain in absence of T, the concept of the Bvirtual drug^applied to the pharmacodynamics of midazolam in intensive care patients recovering from coronary artery bypass grafting was used (36). The Bvirtual drug^was assumed to be (i) absent at the time of skin closure with a non-linear increase with time (resembling the wane of post-surgical pain) or (ii) present in its highest concentration at the time of skin closure with a decline over time (residual anesthetic effects).…”

“…By contrast, there is frequently a better quantitative relationship between a drug's plasma concentration and its effects. In healthy volunteers and critically ill patients, a relationship exists between levels of sedation induced by short-term midazolam and morphine infusions and their plasma concentrations [65][66][67]. Accordingly, understanding of the association between drug exposure and LTCI may be enhanced by further examination of plasma levels of psychoactive drugs to which the patient is exposed.…”
