Final Exam Flashcards
Gent and tobra dose
7 mg/kg
Amikacin dose
15 mg/kg
When to draw AG peak
0.25 - 1 hour after 1 hour infusion
When to draw AG trough
30 minutes or less before the next dose
When to draw random AG
If drawn after 1st dose, should be at least one 1/2 life from the peak concentration
If drawing after dialysis, wait at least 2 hours for redistribution to take place before drawing a concentration
When to draw Vanc peak
At least 1-2 hours after the end of infusion
Avoids distributional phase which may result in erroneous calculations
When to draw Vanc trough
Less than 1 hour before next dose
When to draw Vanc random
At least one anticipated t1/2 from previous level obtained
To ensure accuracy in calculating elimination rate constant
What causes AG-induced nephrotoxicity
When the trough is too high
When does AG-induced nephrotoxicity occur
w/in 4-5 days
High risk associated w/long duration
Is AG-induced nephrotoxicity reversible?
Yes
AG-induced RF
other disease states, age, other nephrotoxic drugs
What happens to the urine production in AG-induced nephrotoxicity?
Non-oliguric
Will still be producing urine
What factors increase AG Vd
Ascites/pancreatitis Cancer CF Intensive caare Post-op/mechanical ventilation Post partum Surgery
What factors increase AG CL?
Burns
CF
Fever
HD/PD
What factors decrease AG half-life?
Burns
CF
HD/PD
What is oral vanc used for
Pseudomembraneous colitis
Are IM vanc injections considered?
No d/t severe pain
Vanc distribution
Widely into body tissues
What type of compartment model is used for Vanc?
1, 2 is most realistic
Vanc metabolism
Little to none
Vanc IV excretion
80-100% recovered in urine in first 24 hours in normal adults
Vanc in HD/PD
minimally removed
Vanc pts with increased clearance
Obese
Pediatrics
Burn pts
CAPD
Peritoneal dialysis
Moves along a fluid gradient
Less efficient than HD
Drugs can be added to PD
GFR in pts on CAPD
10-20
CAVH/CVVH
continuous renal replacement
Removes larger molecules than any other types of dialysis
GFR in pts on CAVH/CVVH
30
Concentration dependent abx
Amount of microbial killing depends on the max concentration of drug above the MIC
Concentration dependent abx PK/PD parameters
Peak MIC
Concentration dependent abx examples
AGs
FQs
Daptomycin
Metronidazole
