What are vancomycin levels? Vancomycin serum trough concentrations, levels drawn just before the next scheduled dose, are considered the most practical method for monitoring efficacy when the pathogen is susceptible. 2 Vancomycin peak concentrations, levels from blood specimens obtained 30 to 60 minutes after drug administration, aren't ...

The COR CPG recommended trough concentrations of 10–15 µg/mL, and peak concentrations of 18–26 µg/mL. The VAN CPG recommended 3 h post vancomycin concentrations of 20–40 µg/ml ( Table 3 ). Initial administration plan
vancomycin kills S. aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis in a concentration-independent fashion. By simulating free vancomycin peak concentrations of 40, 20, 10, and 5 mg/L in an in vitro chemostat model with a normal vancomycin ter-minal half-life of six hours, Larsson et al.31 found no differ-
22 lut 2023 · Trough-based protocol Trough 15-20 mg/L • In general, goal AUC/MIC ≥ 400 for S.aureus • Monitor closely with trough > 15 or AUC > 650: increased risk of nephrotoxicity • Vancomycin may be continued in clinically responding patients with MRSA w/vancomycin MIC = 2; consider ASP or ID consult
Their data suggested that maintaining a longer dosing interval and escalating unit doses to achieve a target trough concentration results in excessive vancomycin exposure (as reflected in the AUC), with potentially high peak concentrations.
23 gru 2020 · We updated an evidence-based guideline regarding the TDM of vancomycin using a rigorous and multidisciplinary approach. The updated guideline provides more comprehensive recommendations to inform rational and optimized vancomycin use and is thus of greater applicability.
The risk of nephrotoxicity has been demonstrated to incrementally increase with greater exposure (as measured by trough or AUC 24), even within the therapeutic range (s). The risk of toxicity is considered to increase above an AUC 24 of 650 mg·h/L or a trough concentration of 15 mg/L.
