Course Details
• Introduction to Antibiotic Pharmacokinetics: Defining antibiotic pharmacokinetics, essential terminology, and the importance of understanding antibiotic PK in clinical practice.
• Pharmacokinetic Parameters: Exploring antibiotic half-life, volume of distribution, clearance, and peak and trough concentrations.
• Factors Influencing Antibiotic Pharmacokinetics: Patient-specific factors such as age, weight, renal and hepatic function, and drug interactions that affect antibiotic PK.
• Antibiotic Dosing in Special Populations: Dosing considerations in pediatric, geriatric, obese, and critically ill patients, as well as those with renal and hepatic impairment.
