3 61 year-old female with asthma & diabetes 2130: Presents to ED with violent cough, productive of green sputum, fevers to 104 F, & vomiting x 10 Levofloxacin in June 2013 ED Vitals: Tmax 38.6 C, BP 60/38, HR 124, RR 30, SaO2 85% 3 L Oxygen, cefepime + vancomycin, 3 L NS, blood cultures, RIJ central line, dopamine then norepi, CVP, S CV O2 0100: arrives MICU

5 The Dilemma Appropriate antibiotics key determinant of outcome in the ICU Resistance rates increasing Most data for use of antibiotics derive from studies in non-icu subjects and ignores unique ICU issues (eg fluid resuscitation, MV, changing renal fxn) How do we optimize antibiotic administration in the ICU?

6 Attributable Mortality by Causal Inference This was calculated as the difference between the observed ICUmortality and the ICU-mortality that would have been observed for the same population if VAP were prevented for all. Bekaert M, et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2011;184:

7 Multi-State Model Indicates VAP Attributable Mortality of 8.1% at 120 Days 2873 patients from 12 French ICUs ( ) Attributable mortality higher In surgical patients With intermediate SAPS II values With multi-organ dysfunction (LOD score) Nguile-Makao M, et al. ICM 2010;36:

8 Early Appropriate Therapy is Critical in NP 107 patients with VAP Mean time from diagnosis of VAP to initiation of appropriate therapy was 28.6 hr in delayed group vs hr in early group p < 0.01 p = Iregui M, et al. Chest 2002;122:

9 Odds Ratio of Death (95% Confidence Interval) Appropriate Initial Therapy An earlier study of septic shock (n = 2,731) explicitly demonstrated the importance of antimicrobial timing Time From Hypotension Onset (hr) Every hour s delay until appropriate therapy resulted in a 12% increase in mortality Compared with starting appropriate therapy within 1 hour of the onset of hypotension, the OR for mortality increased from 1.67 in Hour 2 to with delays >36 hours Kumar A, et al. Crit Care Med. 2006;34:

18 PK/ PD: Part of the Solution

19 Concentration (mg/l) Serum antibiotic levels over a dosing interval 0 Time (hours)

20 PK (Pharmacokinetics) Pharmacokinetics describes the concentration-time profile of a drug (in this case antibiotic) in the body

21 PD (Pharmacodynamics) Pharmacodynamics correlates the concentration of the antibiotic with its ability to kill or inhibit the target pathogen

22 PK-PD Relationship PK Dose concentration PD Concentration effect PK-PD Dose concentration effect Dose PK concentration PD effect PK-PD Relationship

37 Other changes in the critically ill patient affecting antibiotics Udy AA, et al. ICM. 2013; 39:

38 Renal Function Most agents cleared by the kidneys and common place to dose reduce based on estimated GFR However Estimated GFR poor correlate of true CrCl CrCl changes over time in critically ill What about if CrCl elevated?

39 Explanation of Augmented Renal Clearance ARC arises from interaction of: -Systemic inflammation -Physiologic reserve ARC noted in: -Young patients -Trauma patients Udy et al Clin Pharmacokinet 2010; 49:1-16

40 Trough concentration:mic β-lactam Underdosing in Patients with Augmented Renal Clearance (ARC)? ARC = supranormal glomerular filtration 100 ClCr > 130 ml/min/1.73m 2 Cockcroft Gault CrCl Most common in critically ill patients with: SIRS/Sepsis Trauma ClCr (ml/min/1.73m 2 ) Baptista JP et al. Crit Care 2011;15:R139. Udy AA et al. Chest 2012;142:30-39.

41 Dosing Matters: Was This All Due to ARC? Infection type Treatment group Predicted mortality* (%) Non-VAP Ceftobiprole Non-VAP Linezolid/Ceftazidime Actual mortality (%) Ceftobiprole 500 mg q 8 vs Linezolid 600 mg q 12 hours & Ceftazidime 2 g q 8 VAP Ceftobiprole VAP Linezolid/Ceftazidime *Based on Knaus et al. Crit Care Med 1985;13:818 Study primary enrolled -Young patients with normal estimated renal function -Trauma patients Basilea (On File)

43 Novel Dosing Approaches in the ICU: Extended Infusion DBRCT Continuous infusion betalactam vs intermittent bolus Subjects: severe sepsis (n=60) Primary Endpoint: Plasma drug conc above pathogen MIC on days 3 and 4 Secondary endpoint: Clinical response Dulhunty JM, et al.

44 Conclusions PK: PD relationships important in the ICU ICU patients are unique Consider ARC Consider novel dosing approaches Look for newer options on the horizon
