Analysis of Vancomycin Dosage and Plasma Levels in Critically Ill Adult Patients Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO).

Critically ill patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) exhibit unique pharmacokinetics. This study aimed to assess the achievement of vancomycin therapeutic targets in these patients. This retrospective cohort study included patients on ECMO treated with vancomycin between January 2010 and December 2018.
