3 ADME issues for the critically ill (hypercatabolic)?
- often poor oral absorption
- large Vd
- faster or slower excretion
Why is Vd increased in crucially ill pts?
increased capillary permeability > fluid leaks into interstitial space (third spacing)
Concentration __ drugs are more impacted by large Vd of critically ill pts
a. hydrophilic
b. lipophilic
a. hydrophilic
Why is CrCl not always reliable for critically ill patients?
- renal perfusion decreased
- augmented renal clearance
dose adjustments are often required
Renal clearance is unreliable in critically ill, but a significant portion do have __ renal clearance
a. increased
b. decreased
a. increased
