Our analysis of haemodynamic profiles shows that, in those patients who exhibited pruritus (group A), systemic vascular resistance fell significantly 30 min after initiation of vancomycin administration.
· The physician encountering pruritus during vancomycin administration must correct the condition of hypovolaemia before continuing vancomycin infusion.
In our cardiosurgical center vancomycin is administered pro-phylactically before induction of anaesthesia in all patients undergoing open-heart surgery, and in some such patients we have observed the occurrence of pruritus, localized or generalized, during infusion of the antibiotic.
On the basis of the results obtained, we conclude that occurrence of pruritus during vancomycin administration must be considered an alarm bell that indicates the presence of peripheral vasodilatation.
The significant increase in Qsp/Qt and decrease in PaO 2 in the patients affected by pruritus can be interpreted as the effect of an imbalance in the ventilation/perfusion ratio, induced by the vasodilating action of vancomycin on the pulmonary circulation, as supported by the significant reduction in pulmonary vascular resistance at time point 3. Also, the respiratory changes were significant only in patients of group A who were not treated with a β-blocker, whereas preopera-tive use of the drug eliminated any significant respiratory change.
