Overview of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring [PDF]
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is the clinical practice of measuring specific drugs at designated intervals to maintain a constant concentration in a patient's bloodstream, thereby optimizing individual dosage regimens. It is unnecessary to employ TDM for the majority of medications, and it is used mainly for monitoring drugs with narrow therapeutic

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring [PDF]
Traditionally, therapeutic drug monitoring has been used for the management of epilepsy, cardiac arrhythmias, asthma and depression. This review provides an update, particularly for the newer clinical applications, and how therapeutic drug monitoring (including use of analytical and interpretation tools) can improve clinical outcomes.Improved drug ...

Therapeutic drug monitoring in drug overdose [PDF]
The treatment of poisoned patients is still largely defined by history, clinical assessment and interpretation of ancillary investigations. Measurement of drug concentrations is clinically important for relatively few compounds. Most measurements form an adjunct to and should not be considered a substitute for clinical assessment.

Therapeutic drug monitoring: antiarrhythmic drugs [PDF]
Antiarrhythmic agents are traditionally classified according to Vaughan Williams into four classes of action. Class I antiarrhythmic agents include most of the drugs traditionally thought of as antiarrhythmics, and have as a common action, blockade of the fast‐inward sodium channel on myocardium. These agents have a very significant toxicity, and while

On-Site Therapeutic Drug Monitoring [PDF]
Recent technological advances have stimulated efforts to bring personalized medicine into practice. Yet, traditional application fields like therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) have remained rather under-appreciated. Owing to clear dose-response relationships, TDM could improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
