Article Synopsis
- A study aimed to understand how tacrolimus is absorbed in pediatric liver transplant patients who cannot take the medication orally, particularly focusing on those who are sedated or on mechanical ventilation.
- Researchers collected data from 26 children who underwent liver transplants and analyzed it using a sophisticated modeling software, revealing that tacrolimus behaves differently based on sedation status.
- The findings suggest that the model successfully describes the medication's absorption and could improve dosing strategies post-transplant once validated further.
