Abstract
The free fraction of valproate (the pharmacologically active moiety, normally 5–10%) may vary significantly in critically ill patients, but this topic is understudied, with only four prior intensive care unit (ICU) case reports. The objective of this study was to evaluate the range of valproate plasma protein binding in ICU patients.
