Antibiotic Stewardship & Clinical Mastery
Like Duolingo, but for Antibiotic Stewardship & Clinical Mastery. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
A short one: 9 levels across 2 sections, about 18 minutes end to end, roughly 4 days at five minutes a day. It moves through Precision Dosing and PK/PD Optimization and Salvage Therapy and Future Frontiers.

Key ideas in Antibiotic Stewardship & Clinical Mastery
- Beta-lactams exhibit time-dependent killing where efficacy is tied to the percentage of the dosing interval the free drug concentration remains above the MIC
- Extended or continuous infusions maximize the T>MIC profile compared to intermittent boluses, especially in pathogens with higher MICs
- In critical illness, standard boluses often fail to maintain concentrations above MIC due to rapid clearance or high pathogen burden
- Hydrophilic antibiotics (aminoglycosides, glycopeptides) distribute primarily into extracellular fluid
- Sepsis-induced capillary leak and aggressive fluid resuscitation significantly increase the Volume of Distribution (Vd)
- Loading doses must be increased in septic shock to achieve the target peak concentration (Cmax/MIC) despite the expanded Vd
- Optimizing beta-lactam efficacy by prioritizing time above MIC in hypermetabolic states
- Adjusting loading doses for hydrophilic drugs in the context of fluid resuscitation and capillary leak
- Aminoglycosides exhibit a Post-Antibiotic Effect (PAE)
- Augmented Renal Clearance (ARC) in young patients
- Beta-lactam efficacy in hypermetabolic states
- Extended-interval dosing reduces nephrotoxicity
- Cmax/MIC ratio drives bactericidal surge
- Loading doses for hydrophilic drugs in sepsis
- Utilizing PAE to sequence aminoglycoside dosing
- The Inoculum Effect describes the significant increase in MIC when the bacterial density exceeds the standard lab concentration (10^5 CFU/mL)
