The Effects of Modified Ultrafiltration on Vancomycin Levels During Cardiopulmonary Bypass in Cardiac Surgery

Early Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Infection
Interventions
Other: Vancomycin concentrations
Registration Number
NCT02051595
Lead Sponsor
University of Florida
Brief Summary

Antibiotics are routinely used to prevent surgical wound infection. Vancomycin is a widely used antibiotic for surgery in patients with an allergy to penicillin. During cardiac surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and modified ultrafiltration (MUF) are routinely used and can lower the level of the antibiotic. The purpose of this study is to quantify the change in plasma vancomycin concentration associated with cardiopulmonary bypass and modified ultrafiltration.

Detailed Description

Subjects having cardiac surgery in which they will be on a heart-lung machine and will receive the antibiotic vancomycin, will be able to participate.

Up to ten blood samples testing for vancomycin concentrations will be collected in subjects administered vancomycin as prophylaxis before cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass and modified ultrafiltration. Participation will be complete once the cardiac surgery has been finished.

Circulating Vancomycin ConcentrationTime points: pre CPB (t=1), post CPB at 5 (t=2), 30 (t=3), 60 (t=4), 108 (t=5), 240 (t=6) minutes, prior to ultrafiltration (t=7), end of ultrafiltration (t=8), ultrafiltrate (t=9) ,effluent of cell saver (t=10)

Blood samples to monitor the vancomycin concentration will be collected at several time points during surgery.
