Vancomycin penetration of uninfected pleural fluid exudate after continuous or intermittent infusion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Blood and pleural exudate samples were obtained from 16 patients receiving intermittent or continuous infusions of vancomycin after lung surgery. The areas under the concentration-time curves for blood and pleural exudates were identical for both administration schedules, while continuous infusion allowed the concentrations in pleural exudates to be more sustained (mean concentration, 12 mg/liter).

The concentrations of ciprofloxacin (1.5 mg/kg of body weight) in serum and in uninfected pleural exudates were studied after one and three intravenous injections had been given at 8-h intervals. The drug was assayed in serum and in pleural fluid by high-performance liquid chromatography. The peak concentrations in pleural fluid 1.5 h after one and three injections were (mean +/- standard error...

Background: Accumulation of pleural and peritoneal fluid is seen in some diseases. In order to diagnose the disease and start the treatment, one of the most important actions will be to differentiate between exudates and transudates. The objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of measuring the specific gravity of the fluid through...
