Vancomycin is frequently administered as a continuous infusion to treat severe infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Previous studies have suggested a loading dose of 15 mg/kg followed by continuous infusion of 30 mg/kg in patients with normal renal function; however, there are no dosing recommendations in patients with renal failure undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Data from all adult septic patients admitted to a Department of Intensive Care over a 3-year period in whom vancomycin was given as a continuous infusion were reviewed.

Vancomycin is frequently administered to critically ill patients by continuous infusion in order to optimise drug efficacy; however, there are few data available on the efficacy of this strategy in septic patients. In this retrospective analysis, 261 patients treated with continuous infusion of vancomycin in the Department of Intensive Care at Hôpital Erasme (Brussels, Belgium) were evaluated. Creatinine clearance (CL(Cr)) was calculated from 24-h urine collection and normalised to body surface area.
