Optimal doses of caspofungin during continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration in critically ill patients
Optimizing ceftolozane-tazobactam dosage during continuous renal replacement therapy: some nuances
Pharmacokinetics of anidulafungin during venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Echinocandins are currently considered the first-line treatment for invasive candidiasis (IC) in the intensive care unit (ICU) [1, 2]. However, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), a rescue therapy used in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) [3], could alter the pharmacokinetics of certain drugs [4]. We prescribed anidulafungin for suspected IC in a patient with severe ARDS on ECMO and measured the plasma concentrations of the drug using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
Ceftolozane Pharmacokinetics in a Septic Critically Ill Patient under Different Extracorporeal Replacement Therapies
Ceftolozane-tazobactam (C/T), a novel fifth-generation cephalosporin/β-lactamase inhibitor combination active against multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa, is currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat complicated intra-abdominal and urinary tract
