They were compared with 75 patients treated with intermittent vancomycin infusion.RESULTS: The median duration of vancomycin therapy in the contV group was 6 (5%-95% percentile range, 2-21) days. The median daily vancomycin dose in the contV group was 960 (526-1723) mg, resulting in a median serum vancomycin plateau concentration of 19.8 (9.8-29.4) mg/L (target: 15-25 mg/L). The contV administration regime was sufficient regarding achievement of the target serum vancomycin concentration. However, in the contV group, serum vancomycin levels were frequently in a subtherapeutic range on treatment days 1 (44%), 2 (29%), and 3 (23%). In the contV group, serum vancomycin concentration determinations per treatment day were performed significantly less often compared with the intermittent vancomycin infusion group (0.38 [0.15-0.75] vs 0.43 [0.22-1.00], P = .041).CONCLUSIONS: In medical intensive care unit patients, contV is sufficient to achieve target serum vancomycin concentrations. Because contV frequently resulted in subtherapeutic drug levels on the first days of therapy, a higher loading or starting dose might be necessary.",
