"Appropriate" vancomycin serum levels have been widely published, with the proposed "therapeutic range" being trough levels of 5 to 15 mcg/ml and peak levels of 20 to 40 mcg/ml. For many years, it was assumed that maintaining a patient within these proposed ranges would ensure efficacy and prevent toxicity;

I think it's varying between hospitals so you should definitely check your facility's P&P. At our hospital, the trough is drawn 30 minutes before the vancomycin is started and the peak is drawn 30 minutes after the vancomycin is completed. ... Re: Vancomycin -peak and trough...

What is everyone doing about drawing peaks and troughs? At my LTC facility, we have a patient with a PICC. The lab does not draw from PICC lines so the RN has to do it. The patient gets Vancomycin at 8 am. Should the trough be done right at 8:00 or at 7:00 am?
