Purpose: Vancomycin is an essential antibiotic for the treatment of severe gram-positive bacterial infections, including methicillin-resistant (MRSA). In critically ill patients, particularly children, attaining the appropriate dosage is crucial to avert drug resistance and ensure therapeutic efficacy. This study sought to investigate the pharmacokinetics of vancomycin in critically ill Asian pediatric patients and evaluate the influence of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and disease severity on vancomycin clearance.

Background: Perioperative management practices in liver transplantation (LT) evolve very quickly. There are few specific recommendations, often based on a low level of evidence, resulting in wide heterogeneity of practices.
Methods: We performed a survey in all 16 French centers in 2021 by focusing on center organization, preoperative cardiovascular assessment, antimicrobial prophylaxis, hemostasis management, intraoperative use of hemodynamic monitoring and renal replacement therapy, immunosuppression, and postoperative prevention of arterial complications and compared it with current recommendations.

Background: Fever following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) poses a clinical challenge, necessitating a comprehensive diagnostic approach to discern between infectious and non-infectious origins. Despite its minimally invasive nature, TAVI disrupts protective anatomical barriers, leading to an increased risk of infection, as well as to aseptic inflammatory responses. Standardized strategies for the management of these patients are lacking.

Objectives: Antibiotic prophylaxis for patients with cancer remains a controversial issue and is not broadly recommended for hematological malignancies. The venetoclax (VEN) and azacitidine (AZA) combination allows for high rates of complete remission in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) but enhances the incidence of febrile neutropenia (FN) compared to AZA alone, making primary antibiotic prophylaxis a relevant question.
Patients And Methods: Patients with AML who received VEN-AZA were selected from the DATAML registry to investigate the use of levofloxacin (LEVO) prophylaxis, administered at 500 mg/day from day 10 following the first course of VEN-AZA, until neutrophil recovery (>0.
