摘要：

We reviewed the frequency and duration of vancomycin use during 93 left ventricular assist device placements. Vancomycin prophylaxis was administered for a mean duration (+/- standard deviation) of days. Empirical vancomycin use was frequent, with a mean 10.5 +/- 11 duration (+/- standard deviation) of therapy of days ( median, 9.8 +/- 9 8 days) given during 81 (87%) of the implantations. The most common indications for empirical vancomycin treatment were isolated leukocytosis or driveline drainage. Strategies to improve vancomycin use during left ventricular assist device support should be considered.
