Abstract
This study was performed to determine whether vancomycin use at our pediatric hospital was consistent with modified Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Vancomycin use was inappropriate in 54% of patients. Inappropriate use briefly decreased by 14% after educational efforts. Further education regarding vancomycin use was deemed necessary and is continuing.Keywords
