- 3. There are Three in this Relationship There are Three in this Relationship Drug Bacteria Resistance P h a r m a c o d y n a m i c s ( P D ) Infection Host defence T o x i c i t y P h a r m a c o k i n e t i c s ( P K ) Host
- 4. Improving the probability of Improving the probability of positive outcomes positive outcomes • Window of opportunity – Early recognition and treatment of infection – Selection of appropriate antibiotic (e.g. through in vitro susceptibility determination) – Optimization of DOSE using Pharmacodynamic principles – Use optimized dosing that would allow for the minimization of selecting further resistance
- 5. Early recognition of infection Early recognition of infection (Sepsis) (Sepsis) • Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) (Bone et al Crit Care med 1989.;17 :389) (Bone et al Crit Care med 1989.;17 :389) Systemic activation of the immune response Systemic activation of the immune response 2 of the following in response to an insult: 2 of the following in response to an insult: • T > 38 .C or < 36.C T > 38 .C or < 36.C • HR > 90 bpm HR > 90 bpm • RR > 20 bpm RR > 20 bpm • WBC > 12 000 cells/mm3 WBC > 12 000 cells/mm3 • Sepsis Sepsis SIRS + suspected or confirmed infection SIRS + suspected or confirmed infection
