( Daley, MJ; Hobbs, AL; Roberts, KM; Shea, KM, 2015)
"Levetiracetam is a first-line therapy for seizures in critically ill patients because of its clinical efficacy, minimal drug interactions, and wide therapeutic window."1.42Levetiracetam Pharmacokinetics in a Patient Receiving Continuous Venovenous Hemofiltration and Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. ( Frazee, EN; Kashani, KB; Nei, SD; Wittwer, ED, 2015)
