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.

Clinical Details

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

Study design: Endpoint Classification: Bio-availability Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Basic Science

Primary outcome: Circulating Vancomycin Concentration

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. During the surgery once receiving vancomycin, several samples of blood will be collected to test the vancomycin levels. Participation will be complete once the cardiac surgery has been finished.
