Population pharmacokinetics of tigecycline in critically ill patients.

ABSTRACT: Objective: In critically ill patients, the change of pathophysiological status may affect the pharmacokinetic (PK) process of drugs. The purpose of this study was to develop a PK model for tigecycline in critically ill patients, identify the factors influencing the PK and optimiz dosing regimens. Method: The concentration of tigecycline was measured LC-MS/MS. We established population PK model with the non-linear mixed effect model and optimized the dosing regimens by Monte Carlo simulation. Result: A total of 143 blood samples from 54 patients were adequately described by a one-compartment linear model with first-order elimination. In the covariate screening analysis, the APACHEII score and age as significant covariates. The population-typical values of CL and Vd in t
