Introduction
- Covariate analysis showed that V1 increased with
more severe type of sepsis (V1 8.21 3.55 L,
9.77 3.83 L and 11.5 4.16 L for sepsis,
severe sepsis and septic shock, respectively) but
its inclusion in the model was not significant. - Ceftriaxone CL was independent of CLcr for
values below 60 ml/min and then increased
linearly with GFR
- Pharmacokinetics of drugs used in critically ill
patients may be altered because of renal or
hepatic dysfunction, variation of vascular
permeability, abnormal fluid balance, altered
protein metabolism and low albumin. - Ceftriaxone is a third generation cephalosporin
with a broad spectrum activity against gram-
positive and gram-negative bacteria. - As a time-dependant antibiotic, the
pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic parameter
determining its in vivo efficacy is the time that
serum levels exceeds 4xMIC. - Although commonly used, there are few data on
its pharmacokinetics in critically ill patients.
Objectives
- To describe population pharmacokinetics of
ceftriaxone in a large group of critically ill
patients suffering from sepsis, severe sepsis or
septic shock - To investigate the influence of several clinical
and biological covariates on pharmacokinetic
parameters - To simulate various dosing regimen to evaluate
whether some of them could produce concentrations
below the MIC of common ICU pathogens.
- The model did not supported BOV on any
parameter. - The other PK parameters were V2 (7.35 L
rse10.2 CV65) and intercompartment clearance
(5.28 h-1 fixed). Residual variability modelled
as proportional was 24. - The VPCs obtained with the final model are shown
below
Patients and Methods
- Prospective population pharmacokinetic study in
patients receiving ceftriaxone (1 or 2 g once a
day). - MIC of bacterial isolates to ceftriaxone was
determined by the E-test method - A pharmacokinetic (PK) profile was obtained on
two occasions for each patient. - First PK on the second day of ceftriaxone
therapy - Second PK after the resolution of sepsis.
- Population pharmacokinetic analysis was
performed using NONMEM VI. - Fourteen potential covariates were evaluated,
including demographic, biological and clinical
characteristics, and co-administered drugs. - Between Occasion Variability (BOV) was analyzed
from PK1 to PK2. - Precision and stability of parameter estimates
were evaluated by non-parametric bootstrap
procedure. - Simulations were made at various doses for
hypothetical patients having different covariate
values and concentrations were compared to MICs
of common ICU pathogens.
- Simulations performed for 2 different
ceftriaxone doses and 4 different renal functions
indicated that most patients will achieve
effective concentrations, even with a dose of 1 g.

Conclusion
- We included 54 patients 19 suffered from
sepsis, 9 from severe sepsis and 26 from septic
shock. - Eleven patients were hemofiltrated or
haemodyalized. For the others, creatinine
clearance (CLcr) ranged 5.5 to 214 ml/min. Renal
function improved from PK1 to PK2 with median
(range) values of 63 (5.5 - 195) and 70 (25.7 -
214) mL/min, respectively. - A 2-compartment pharmacokinetic model was
selected
We found a wide inter-patient but weak
intrapatient variability of ceftriaxone PK. The
only parameter that influenced ceftriaxone
pharmacokinetics was CLcr, but only when CLcr was
gt 60 ml/min, suggesting participation of
non-renal phenomenon. Simulations indicated that
the risk of being under 4 MIC for the entire
dosing interval is very low and exists only in
patient with high glomerular filtration rate
(CLcr gt 120 ml/min).
