Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Beta-lactams are first-line antibiotics for the management of superficial infections due to burn injury. There is sparse data available on therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in patients with burns in a ward setting. This study was conducted to evaluate the utility of a beta-lactam TDM program in a cohort of burn injury patients in a ward environment. METHODS:Steady-state blood samples were collected immediately before a scheduled dose. The therapeutic concentration targets assessed were (1) free antibiotic concentrations exceeding the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC; fT > MIC) and (2) free concentrations ≥4× MIC of the known or suspected pathogen (fT > 4× MIC). The duration of therapy was also assessed. RESULTS:A total of 50 patients were included for TDM over a 12-month period. The mean (±SD) age was 49 ± 16 years. The mean percent total body surface area burn was 17 ± 13%. The mean serum creatinine concentration was 86 ± 20 μmole/L. Sixty percent of the patients did not achieve fT > MIC, and only 18% achieved the higher target of fT > 4× MIC. Although all the patients achieved a positive clinical outcome, the duration of antibiotic treatment was shorter in patients who achieved fT > MIC compared with those who did not (4.2 ± 1.1 versus 5.3 ± 2.3 days; P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS:We found TDM to be a reliable intervention for burn injury patients in a ward environment. This study supports pharmacokinetic data that burns patients may be at risk of subtherapeutic dosing, which may prolong the duration of antibiotic therapy.
