Abstract

Objective: Analysis of the results of implementing vancomycin concentrations monitoring in adult patients receiving intermittent infusion at Viet Tiep Friendship Hospital. Subject and method: Research data was retrospectively collected through medical records of adult patients with indications for monitoring vancomycin levels from December 2023 to July 2025 at Viet Tiep Friendship Hospital. Result: In the study, 174 patients underwent vancomycin concentration monitoring, resulting in 334 concentrations analyzed. The majority of patients received a loading dose (98.3%), and the commonly used maintenance dose was 2g/day (44.3%). Regarding the sampling method, most patients underwent TDM sampling at the second dose (43.7%) and the third dose (36.8%), which ensured timely vancomycin dose adjustment. The time from Cpeak sampling to the end of infusion had a median of 1.27 hours (with a range of 1.03 to 1.85 hours). For Ctrough concentration, the time interval between sampling and the next dose had a median of 0.55 hours (with an interquartile range of 0.25 to 0.67 hours). The AUC target achievement rate improved from 44.8% to 100% after three rounds of TDM. The incidence of nephrotoxicity during vancomycin therapy was 2.3%, representing a significant decrease compared to the period before TDM implementation. Conclusion: The results affirm the effective adoption of vancomycin concentration monitoring through the Hospital's Vancomycin Monitoring Protocol. The progressive increase in the cumulative AUC target attainment rate culminated at 100% after the 3rd TDM session, underscoring the vancomycin TDM protocol's effectiveness and importance at the hospital.
