Cefepime "Jonckheere"
Indication: Nosocomial infections, febrile neutropenia, severe bacterial infections in ICU
Interactive pharmacokinetic simulator for cefepime continuous IV infusion in critically ill ICU patients. Based on the Jonckheere et al. 2019 two-compartment population PK model with creatinine clearance and allometric weight scaling. Simulates target-controlled infusion (TCI) dosing and T>MIC target attainment.

About This Simulator
This interactive pharmacokinetic simulator for Cefepime "Jonckheere" allows you to explore concentration-time profiles under different dosing scenarios. The underlying Population PK model characterizes the pharmacokinetics of this beta-lactam antibiotic (4th-gen cephalosporin) following iv infusion (continuous) administration.
Use the simulator to visualize key exposure metrics including AUC (area under the curve), Cmax (peak concentration), and Ctrough (trough concentration).
Built with PKPDBuilder — an AI-powered platform that transforms published pharmacometric literature into interactive, deployable Shiny applications. No coding required.
