Ideal approach to adjust the dose • Initial dosing regimen(chosen by patient’s physician) • Blood sampling( two or more post-distributional sample) • Pharmacokinetic analysis (peak,AUC,CL) • Adjust dose or/and intervals (PK/PD) • Redetermine concentrations • Adjust again ?
First problemPK approach to adjust the dose is poor applicable for routinely use(at moment) • N°samples • Personnel • Costs
second problemPK/PD breakpoints betalactams (ceftriaxone) aminoglycosides quinolones glycopeptides macrolides tetracyclines
Program to customize the therapyin our hospital • Isolation of the pathogen and MIC • Design therapy traditionally(by patient’s physician) • Pharmacokinetics • Adjust dose or interval using PK/PD • Redetermine concentrations
PK/PD values adopted • Aminoglycosides Peak/MIC 8 • Quinolones peak/MIC 10 • Betalactams peak/MIC 4 and T>MIC 70% same value for monotherapy or combination
Sampling time • Aminoglycosides Peak : 0.5 h from • end 30 min infusion • Quinolones peak : 0.5 h from end 60 • min infusion • Betalactams peak :0.5 h from end 30 • min infusion • And T>MIC : 5.6 hours from start • infusion

Conclusions I • The PK/PD approach may: • improve the outcome • shorten the time to clinical improvement • Reduce the length of hospitalisation
Conclusions II The initial higher costs for analysis and personnel are compensated for the reduction of the hospitalisation, with a financial gain
Conclusions III Can PK/PD be used in everyday clinical practice? yes
Conclusions IVhomework When you came back at home, please try to convince Top Managers as well as Physicians (mainly surgeons), that the PK/PD approach is clinically and economically advantageous
