Summary
Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modelling is a discipline currently under the umbrella of pharmacometrics, and aims to describe, understand and predict the time course of in vivo drug action.
In general PK/PD comprises three major elements: (1) pharmacokinetics (PK), (2) pharmacodynamics (PD), and (3) disease progression. However, given the fact that anaesthesia procedures take place in short periods of time, where the general state of the patient remains unaltered, in this chapter we will limit the focus to the interrelationship between PK and PD.
