Abstract

Augmented renal clearance (ARC) has been relevant among hospitalized patients with pneumonia at the intensive care unit. Standard doses of antibiotics may be inappropriate in those patients due to the lower serum concentration leading to suboptimal treatment, which prolongs the length of stay in hospital and promotes the risk of antibiotic resistance. Therefore, evaluating the risk of ARC and adjusting the dosing regimen would be necessary for patients with ARC. Antimicrobial agents recently recommended for critical pneumonia include carbapenem, fluoroquinolone, aminoglycoside, vancomycin, and linezolid. Data of these antibiotics dosing regimens has been limited in Vietnam and dependent on population PK/PD models. Consequently, the application of those regimens should be critically considered and followed by therapeutic dose monitoring. Consequently, the application of those regimens should be critically considered and followed by therapeutic dose monitoring. More in-depth researches should be carried out to optimize the outcome treatments in this specific population.
