Mangues Part I: Techniques for optimal monitoring and dosing. 8:45 AM – Nonparametric (NP) modeling drug behavior in populations of patients. 9:30 AM – Optimal Weighting of Laboratory Assay Results for TDM – 1/variance, not CV%. 9:50 AM - Developing the assay error polynomial. 10:10 AM - Multiple Model Dosage Design for Maximally Precise Dosage Regimens. 10:30 AM – Finding the most informative sampling times for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring 10:50 AM – Break 11:20 AM - Using Bestdose - Making Individual Bayesian PK models for patients. 1 - Regular NP Bayesian analysis – for most clinical situations. 2 - Hybrid Bayesian analysis – for unusual patients and those without a population model for them. 3 - Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) sequential Bayesian analysis – changing model parameters over time, tracking drug behavior best in acutely ill, unstable ICU patients with high intra-individual variability. 11:50 AM – Managing patients on digoxin. 12:10 PM – Managing dialysis and ECMO patients. 12:40 PM – Lunch Part II: What are we working on? 2:00 PM – Meropenem: Patients on CVVH - Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge.
