| Abstract: | In the intensive care unit (ICU), drug dosing presents challenges due to variable pharmacokinetics and patient condition. Pharmacists in the ICU are positioned to advise on individual drug dosing using therapeutic drug monitoring, aiming to maximise efficacy of medications while minimising drug toxicity. Such contribution is particularly relevant to achieve therapeutic serum concentrations of medications with a narrow therapeutic range in critically ill patients. [excerpt] |
