- Discussion:
- properties of antibiotics to cement / properties of vancomycin in cement
- THR infections / - TKR Infections
- septic arthritis
- specific organisms:
- gram negative bacilli: - gram negative cocci: - gram positive bacilli: - gram positive cocci
- Technique and Dosing:
- surgical reimplantation is carried out in the usual manner;
- hickman catheter is tunneled from the joint to the outer skin (catheter cuff is left just beneath the dermis);
- the intra-articular dose of vancomycin is adjusted to meet optimal serum levels;
- initial dose is 500 mg in 10 cc NS infused twice daily;
- be aware that vancomycin can precipitate at high concentrations when mixed with small amounts of cephalosporins and clindamycin;
