parameters based on average literature data and the patient’s clinical history to
calculate
1. Calculate a vancomycin clearance for this patient.
2. Calculate a vancomycin Volume of distribution for this patient.
3. Calculate a vancomycin half-life for this patient.
4. It was decided to start Ms. TS on vancomycin (infused over 1 hr.) to maintain a
trough concentration of 7.5 mg/L Calculate the initial vancomycin dose and
suggest an appropriate dosing regimen
5. What will be a once daily vancomycin dose for this patient?
6. Once a daily dose of 1500mg is administered Q24 hours, what would be the
