Abstract
The Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital Intensive Care Unit Clinical Consultant Medical Staff, in agreement with the Infectious Diseases Department and the Pharmacy Department, have decided that all Covid-19 patients admitted to the ICU should receive hydroxychloroquine as standard of care. This study is to determine whether therapeutic drug monitoring of hydroxychloroquine dosing in Covid-19 patients results in clinically significant alterations in the drug dosing regimen.
