Optimal Dosing of <strong>Piperacillin</strong>-<strong>Tazobactam</strong> for Treatment of<br />
Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections: Prolonged or Continuous <strong>Infusion</strong>?<br />
Conclusions<br />
31<br />
Both prolonged- and continuous-infusion strategies<br />
improved PDs over traditional 30-minute intermittentinfusion<br />
regimens<br />
Prolonged- and continuous infusion regimens containing<br />
same daily doses had similar likelihoods of bactericidal<br />
exposure<br />

<strong>Piperacillin</strong>-<strong>Tazobactam</strong> for Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection:<br />
Clinical Implications of an <strong>Extended</strong>-<strong>Infusion</strong> Dosing Strategy<br />
Purpose<br />
32<br />
Explore ways to optimize PDs of first-line antipseudomonal<br />
β-lactams to improve outcomes (patient survival, duration<br />
of hospitalization) associated with P. aeruginosa infection<br />
Design<br />
Population PK modeling & PD Monte Carlo simulation<br />
comparing dosing schemes to assess probability of<br />
achieving 50% fT>MIC vs P. aeruginosa.<br />

Potential Ways of Maximizing T>MIC<br />
Higher dose<br />
Increase dosing frequency<br />
Increase duration of infusion (prolonged)<br />
Increased duration of infusion (continuous)<br />
