The Benefits of Early TDM for Pharmacists

This reduced PKPD target attainment with the Brazilian has also been seen and demonstrated in other studies. Delays in measuring beta lactam concentration was associated with less clinical cure, longer ICU stay and higher mortality. So by showing all these benefits with early TDM, we were able to convert our institutional beta lactam TDM policy to what we refer to as a pharmacy and therapeutics approved protocol. And now at your fault chance, any pharmacist can order a beta lactam concentrate independently without a physician order or a verbal order.
