To describe the total and unbound plasma concentration-time profiles for highly protein-bound flucloxacillin (95%-97% protein binding) in critically ill patients with hypoalbuminaemia and without severe renal dysfunction, and to use population pharmacokinetic modelling and Monte Carlo simulations to assess the probability of target attainment against an MIC distribution.
