Vancomycin dosing in critically ill trauma patients: The VANCTIC Study

CONCLUSION Our incidence of initial therapeutic troughs was slightly below previously reported studies. Based on our results, which are consistent with previous literature, it would appear that our guideline-adherent protocol of intermittent vancomycin is insufficient to achieve troughs of 15 mg/L to 20 mg/L. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Therapeutic, level III.
