ANTIBIOTIC DOSE AND DOSE INTERVALS IN RRT and ECMO Professor Jeffrey Lipman Department of Intensive Care Medicine Royal Brisbane Hospital University of Queensland
NO CONFLICT OF INTERESTS
Important concept Recommended dosages are obtained from healthy volunteers and possibly (ward) sick patients
Clinical pharmacology: drug development Antibiotic regimens are derived from noncritically ill volunteers. Their haemodynamic system is normal, as is their liver and kidney blood flow. They have not leaky capillaries nor have they drips and pipes in every orifice.

.we have found that higher-thanrecommended loading and daily doses of vancomycin seem to be necessary to rapidly achieve therapeutic serum concentrations. 35mg/kg loading 35mg/kg/day
VOLUME OF DISTRIBUTION ALTERATIONS IN ICU Antibiotics that stay in extravascular and extracellular space ie that don t penetrate solid organs, (hydrophilic tendencies) namely AMINOGLYCOSIDES GLYCOPEPTIDES β-lactams (to a lesser extent) COLISTIN
LOADING DOSE vs CLEARANCES Fundamental concept Loading dose is INDEPENDENT of clearances EVEN IN RENAL FAILURE (without clearance) YOU MUST GIVE LOADING DOSE

IMPORTANT BEDSIDE PRACTICAL POINT.. You may prescribe Continuous RRT. but is it continuous? How often do you come on morning ward round to here the kidney was off for xxx hours? How often do you do rounds to here Oh we are changing the filter Do you factor in for the down time?
IMPORTANT BEDSIDE PRACTICAL POINT.. What do you do when you want to cease RRT. We say leave the filter off for awhile to see if pt passes urine And often forget to change dose of drugs.. Do you factor in for the down time?
CRITICAL CARE Conclusions: This matched cohort study confirms an increase in Vd and a decrease in CL for meropenem in adult patients receiving ECMO. In patients receiving meropenem on ECMO, standard dosing does not always result in optimal drug concentrations because of the significant PK changes in the setting of critical illness, ECMO and RRT. Therapeutic drug monitoring where possible is recommended until robust dosing guidelines become available. Therapeutic drug monitoring
DEFINITION Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) refers to analysis and subsequent interpretation of drug concentrations in biological fluids
PLACE TDM should be used to maximise efficacy minimize toxicity To personalise dosing for high probability of therapeutic success, prevent development of resistance, provide low probability of toxicity
BETA-LACTAMS Safe drugs Large therapeutic range TDM should be used to maximise efficacy minimize toxicity
J Chromatogr B 2010;878:2039-2043
CONCLUSION For various reasons therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of most antibiotics is difficult if not impossible. We have set up a TDM service for all our beta-lactam use and have (not surprisingly ) shown that in more than half of our ICU patients we are dose adjusting once receiving back a drug level!
