ID exam 1 Flashcards
xWhat is the goal of PK
increase effectiveness of treatment and/or decrease the side effects of the treatment
____ is used to develop a model for designing individual drug regimens
PK
What is PD
describe characteristics of interaction between substance, active site, and action (think antimicrobial affect on pathogen)
What are the 2 categories that antimicrobial agents are classified as exhibiting
concentration dependent activity
non concentration dependent activity
What is concentration dependent activity of antimicrobial agents
rate/extent of bactericidal activity increases with increasing antimicrobial concentrations
goal to optimize peak: MIC (AUC:MIC)
What is non-concentration dependent activity of antimicrobial agents
rate/extent of killin do not increase with increasing antimicrobial concentration; instead it is increased by length of exposure
goal to optimize time concentrations remain above MIC (t>MIC)
What is the blood culture pathway
collection: sample incubated
alert: machine alerts for positive culture
gram stain: tech performs STAT stain
incubation: culture plates
What is the timeline for antimicrobial therapy
clinical illness
empiric antibiotics
culture processing
ID
targeted antibiotics
What is the time frame for gram stain, blood culture, EMR view
gram stain: 24-48 h
blood culture: additional 24-48 h
EMR view: additional 24 h
What are all the components of targeted antibiotics regimen
pathogen
indication/site of infection
dose
route
duration
What is MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration)
Lowest antimicrobial concentration that inhibits visible bacterial growth
What is MBC (minimum bactericidal concentration)
lowest antimicrobial concentration that results in microbial death
Broth microdilution susceptibility testing
inoculation with various antimicrobial concentrations (standard for testing)
What drugs focus on the T>MIC (time dependent killing) PD curve
beta lactams
tetracycline
oxazolidinones
What drugs focus on the AUC/MIC PD curve
fluoroquinolones
macrolides
ketolides
glycopeptides
What is the goal of beta lactams
keep serum concentrations above MIC for at least 40-70% of dosing interval
(max kill at 4-5x MIC, focus on T>MIC)
What is the Vd, half-life, and protein binding of beta lactams, excretion
Vd: 0.15-0.3 L/kg
half-life: 1-2 hr
protein binding: 25% or less
excretion via glomerular filtration and tubular secretion
Critically ill patients may have changed PK derangement what are these principles they effect
change in Vd
large volume of fluid resuscitation
vasopressor use
hypoalbuminemia
augmented renal clearance
Pharmacy to dose (PTD) - vancomycin PK/PD
formal pharmacy consult for pharmacist managed dosing and policy directed management
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM) - vancomycin PK/PD
assay procedures to determine drug concentrations in plasma, further interpreted and applied to develop safe and effective regimens
What is the difference between C1 and C2 - vancomycin PK/PD
C1 peak (1-2 hr after end of infusion)
C2 trough (end interval concentration)
What is AUC/MIC
integrated quantity of cumulative drug exposure for a defined period of time
average serum drug concentration during time period
what is the goal AUC of vancomycin
target: 500 mcgh/mL
range: 400-600 mcgh/mL
(500-600 for MRSA, endocarditis, menigitis)
Vancomycin MIC <1 and MIC >2 meaning
MIC >1 = 100% change of achieving goal AUC/MIC >400
MIC >2 mcg/mL - goal not achievable in patient with normal renal function
