Pharmacokinetics Vancomycin CVVHDF with OXiris Membrane

Overview

This study is a general pharmacokinetic investigation of vancomycin in patients receiving continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CRRT) with the oXiris membrane. This membrane offers the added benefit of absorbing inflammatory cytokines. In vitro studies show that vancomycin is reduced by around 20 percent in patients using the AN69ST membrane, which is part of the oXiris membrane's structure. However, there is currently a lack of in vivo studies demonstrating the impact of the oXiris membrane on vancomycin levels. Therefore, the hypothesis of this study is that vancomycin is also reduced by absorption in the oXiris membrane. This study measures the levels of vancomycin in these patients to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters.

This study monitors the levels of the maintenance dose of vancomycin in patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) with the CVVHDF mode using the oXiris membrane. Blood samples were drawn from the A-line at the following time points: 0 (predose), 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 12 hours after drug administration. The area under the curve (AUC) of the drug was calculated using the Phoenix WinNonlin program. Additionally, we reported the pharmacokinetic profile of this drug in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) undergoing CRRT with the oXiris membrane.
