Pediheart Podcast Replay of #205: Cefazolin Dosing For Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery

This week we review an episode from 2022 in the world of cardiac surgery and pediatric pharmacology when we review a work from Australia on levels of cefazolin during and after surgery. Is there an optimal dose regimen that will achieve proper MIC levels of drug? What should the goal of therapy be in regards to MIC levels? Are there novel means of dosing cefazolin? We speak with pediatric critical care pharmacy coordinator at Mount Sinai Kravis Children's Hospital, Dr. Jessica Frye for the pharmacist's perspective on some of these important questions.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.02.047
