Impact of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation in an Infant Treated with Vancomycin : A Case Report

Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic used for prophylaxis and treatment of infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Although major organ sizes and functions mature during infancy, pharmacokinetic studies, especially those focused on infants, are limited. Changes in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation-related drug disposition largely contribute to changes in pharmacokinetics. Here, pharmacokinetic profiles of vancomycin in an infant receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy are presented. A two-month-old Japanese infant with moderately decreased renal function was started on 12.0 mg/kg vancomycin every 8 h from day X for prophylaxis of pneumonia during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation therapy. As the trough concentration of vancomycin observed on day X+3 was 27.1 μg/mL, vancomycin was then discontinued. The trough concentration decreased to 18.6 μg/mL 24 h after discontinuation, and 9.0 mg/kg vancomycin every 12 h was restarted from day X+5. On day X+6, the trough concentration increased to 36.1 μg/mL, and vancomycin therapy was again discontinued. On day X+7, the trough concentration decreased to 22.4 μg/mL. The pharmacokinetic profiles of vancomycin based on first-order conditional estimation in this infant were as follows: plasma clearance = 0.053 L/kg/hour, distribution volume = 2.19 L/kg, and half-life = 29.5 h. This research reported the prolonged half-life of vancomycin during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in infants with moderately decreased renal function.
