Practice survey on the use of vancomycin in pediatrics in the New Aquitaine region and guidelines of learned societies.

CONCLUSION: Our study shows that vancomycin is used in very different ways from one unit to another, within the same region, including in ways not recommended by the main learned societies. Much work remains to be done to determine the optimal dosages of vancomycin in pediatrics, to set the serum trough concentration of vancomycin values, and to determine whether continuous infusion use is comparable to discontinuous administration in terms of efficacy.
