What is already known about this subject
•
Vancomycin
is conventionally used for treating severe gram-positive cocci infection
in the pediatric intensive care unit.
•Prolonging the infusion time of vancomycin can improve its
pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics
(PK/PD) since it is a time-dependent drug.
• Very few trials have compared the effect of continuous infusions of
vancomycin (CIV) to that of the intermittent infusions (IIV) in children
on its PK/PD.
