Abstract
We describe two patients in whom rapid administration of vancomycin caused severe hypotension. Possible mechanisms for this effect are discussed, with reference to the role of the anaesthetist as administrator of drugs prescribed by others. Recommendations are made on safe administration of vancomycin with respect to rate of infusion and possible interactions.Entities:
