Abstract
Linked Articles This article is commented on in the editorial by Holford NHG and Anderson BJ. Why standards are useful for predicting doses. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2017; 83: 685–7. doi: 10.1111/bcp.13230 Aim When different models for weight and age are used in paediatric pharmacokinetic studies it is difficult to compare parameters between studies or perform model‐based meta‐analyses. This study aimed to compare published models with the proposed standard model (allometric weight0.75 and sigmoidal maturation function). Methods A systematic literature search was undertaken to identify published clearance (CL) reports for gentamicin and midazolam and all published models for scaling clearance in children. Each model was fitted to the CL values for gentamicin and midazolam, and the results compared with the standard model (allometric weight exponent of 0.75, along with a sigmoidal maturation function estimating the time in weeks of postmenstrual age to reach half the mature value and a shape parameter). For comparison, we also looked at allometric size models with no age effect, the influence of estimating the allometric exponent in the standard model and, for gentamicin, using a fixed allometric exponent of 0.632 as per a study on glomerular filtration rate maturation. Akaike information criteria (AIC) and visual predictive checks were used for evaluation. Results No model gave an improved AIC in all age groups, but one model for gentamicin and three models for midazolam gave slightly improved global AIC fits albeit using more parameters: AIC drop (number of parameters), –4.1 (5), –9.2 (4), –10.8 (5) and –10.1 (5), respectively. The 95% confidence interval of estimated CL for all top performing models overlapped. Conclusion No evidence to reject the standard model was found; given the benefits of standardised parameterisation, its use should therefore be recommended.

Abstract
Aim: Wound and mediastinal infections are still very serious complications of open-heart surgery, in spite of the use of prophylactic antibiotics. The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with profound physiological changes affecting the pharmacokinetic behaviour of antibiotics. The aim of this pilot study was to monitor the tissue concentrations of cephuroxime (prophylactic antibiotic) in skeletal muscle during cardiac surgery using CPB by interstitial microdialysis. These concentrations were compared with plasma concentrations of cephuroxime. Material and methods: Nine adult patients operated on using CPB were enrolled in this study. Cephuroxime was used as a prophylactic antibiotic (1st dose — 3 g of cefuroxime i.v. with anesthesia induction, 2nd dose — 1.5 g i.v. after CPB with protamine sulphate, 3rd dose — 1.5 g i.v. 8 hours after the surgery). Interstitial microdialysis was performed by probe CMA 60 (CMA Microdialysis AB, Sweden) inserted into the patient's deltoid muscle. Concentrations of cephuroxime in dialysates and in plasma were determined by the modified fluid chromatography method. The unbound cephuroxime fraction in plasma was obtained by using an ultrafiltration method. Samples of dialysates were collected at the following intervals: before CPB, each 30 minutes of CPB, at the end of CPB. Samples of blood were collected at these intervals: incision, start of CPB, each 30 minutes of CPB, at the end of CPB, at the end of surgery. Concentrations of cephuroxime in tissue were corrected by in vivo recoveries of the microdialysis probes. Results: Plasma concentrations of cephuroxime were 163.5 ± 40.1, 79.3 ± 17.4, 73.7 ± 16.8, 66.1 ± 18.3, 57.0 ± 10.9, 120.7 ± 29.9 (mg . L—1) and concentrations of free plasma fraction of cephuroxime were 119.5 ± 35.2, 67.8 ± 15.5, 66.0 ± 12.5, 54.8 ± 12.2, 49.6 ± 9.8, 102.6 ± 26.0 (mg . L—1). The concentrations of cephuroxime in dialysates were 44.3 ± 15.7, 36.1 ± 11.6, 31.9 ± 9.3, 34.6 ± 12.3, 27.6 ± 12.9, 56.7 ± 17.6 (mg . L—1). The mean in vivo recovery of cephuroxime in this study was 30%. Corrected concentrations (calculated by in vivo recovery) of cephuroxime in skeletal muscle were 148, 120, 106, 115, 92, 189 (mg . L—1). Conclusion: Our preliminary results show that CPB can modify the time course of cephuroxime plasma and tissue concentrations. A decrease in plasma drug concentrations occurred at the start of CPB and lasted until CPB ended. An increase in plasma concentrations corresponds to the second drug dose after CPB. The concentrations of cephuroxime in skeletal muscle (corrected by recovery) during CPB are higher than plasma concentrations. It is influenced by important changes during CPB; closely associated with hemodilution, a shift of intravascular volume, solutes and albumin to the extravascular space and inconstant protein binding of cephuroxime during operation. Perfusion (2007) 22, 129—136.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetics is a discipline aimed at predicting the best dosage and dosing regimen for each single drug in order to ensure and maintain therapeutically effective concentrations at the action sites. In cardiac critical care patients, various pathophysiological conditions may significantly alter the pharmacokinetic behaviour of drugs. Gastrointestinal drug absorption may be erratic and unpredictable in the early postoperative period, and so patients may be unresponsive to oral therapy; thus the intravenous route should be preferred for life-saving drugs whenever feasible. Variations in the extracellular fluid content as a response to the trauma of surgery and the fluid load or significant drug loss through thoracic drainages may significantly lower plasma concentrations of extracellularly distributed hydrophilic antimicrobials (beta-lactams, aminoglycosides and glycopeptides). Drug metabolism may be altered by the systemic inflammatory response and/or multiple organ failure and/or drug-drug pharmacokinetic interactions that can potentially occur during polytherapy, especially in immunosuppressed cardiac transplant patients. Instability of renal function may promote significant changes in body fluid concentrations of renally eliminated drugs, even in a brief period of hours. Finally, the application of extracorporeal circulation by means of cardiopulmonary bypass may significantly alter the disposition of several drugs during the operation because of acute haemodilution, hypoalbuminaemia, hypothermia and/or adsorption to the bypass equipment. Accordingly, to avoid either overexposure and the consequent increased risk of toxicity or underexposure and the consequent risk of therapeutic failure in critically ill cardiac patients, the dosing regimens of several drugs are expected to be significantly different from those suggested for clinically stable patients. Additionally, therapeutic drug monitoring may be helpful in the management of drug therapy and should be routinely used to guide individualized dose adjustments for (i) immunosuppressants whenever cytochrome P450 3A4 isoenzyme inhibitors (e.g. macrolide antibacterials, azole antifungals) or inducers (e.g. rifampicin [rifampin]) are added to or withdrawn from the regimen; and (ii) glycopeptide and aminoglycoside antibacterials whenever haemodynamically active agents (such as dopamine, dobutamine and furosemide [frusemide]) are added to or withdrawn from the regimen, and also whenever significant changes of haemodynamics and/or of renal function occur.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended in pediatric cardiac surgery, but no data concerning the current antibiotic regimen were available. DESIGN Prospective study from April to June 2000. SETTING University hospital operating room and postoperative intensive care unit. PARTICIPANTS Nineteen consecutive infants less than 10 kg with normal renal function undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass longer than 30 minutes. INTERVENTIONS Intravenous administration of cefazolin, 40 mg/kg, and gentamicin, 5 mg/kg, at induction of anesthesia; followed by cefazolin, 35 mg/kg every 8 hours, and gentamicin, 2 mg/kg every 12 hours, over 48 hours. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Levels of serum antibiotics were measured: cefazolin (microbiologic) and gentamicin (fluorescence immunoassay) with 8 intraoperative and 5 postoperative samplings. Intraoperatively, cefazolin levels decreased from 166 +/- 44 (mean +/- standard deviation) down to 54 +/- 16 microg/mL and gentamicin from 20.8 +/- 9.5 down to 5.9 +/- 1.5 microg/mL. The postoperative trough levels were 12 +/- 7, 15 +/- 10, and 19 +/- 22 microg/mL for cefazolin and 1.1 +/- 0.5, 0.8 +/- 0.4, and 0.8 +/- 0.9 microg/mL for gentamicin. CONCLUSIONS Antibiotic serum levels are consistent with satisfactory efficacy, but intraoperative gentamicin peak levels appeared too high.
