Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of once-daily administration of intravenous tobramycin in adult patients with cystic fibrosis hospitalized for an acute pulmonary exacerbation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The serum pharmacokinetic profile of intravenous (i.v.) tobramycin administration was characterized for a sample of nine adult patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) who were hospitalized for an acute pulmonary exacerbation. Current recommended i.v. tobramycin dosing protocols are predicted through modeling and simulation to be suboptimal. Empirical tobramycin regimens of ≥15 mg/kg of body weight administered i.v. once daily should be evaluated for adult patients with CF to optimize outcomes.

Pharmacokinetics of once and twice daily dosing of intravenous tobramycin in paediatric patients with cystic fibrosis.
The optimal dosing of intravenous tobramycin for treatment of pulmonary exacerbations in paediatric cystic fibrosis (CF) patients has not been completely delineated. We performed a retrospective study evaluating the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of once daily dosing (ODD) of IV tobramycin compared to twice daily dosing (TDD). Fifty-nine and 44 patients were included in the ODD and TDD g...
متن کاملSafety of intravenous tobramycin in combination with a variety of anti-pseudomonal antibiotics in children with cystic fibrosis
OBJECTIVES Previous studies have examined renal safety of once daily intravenous tobramycin in individuals with cystic fibrosis. This has been mainly in combination with ceftazidime in an adolescent or adult population. In this report, we describe our institutional experience of once daily intravenous tobramycin in combination with a variety of second anti-pseudomonal antibiotics in children wi...

Background Pulmonary involvement is the main cause of mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF). Airway clearance techniques are non-pharmacological complement options for CF patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term outcome of airway cleaning treatment in patients with cystic fibrosis in a children's hospital. Materials and Methods This clinical trial study conducted on 40 CF pati...
متن کاملPharmacokinetics of tobramycin in adults with cystic fibrosis: implications for once-daily administration.
Once-daily administration of aminoglycosides is routinely used in many institutions. However, comparative efficacy data for patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) are lacking. The purpose of the present study was to compare the predicted pharmacodynamic activity of tobramycin at 10 mg/kg of body weight/day administered every 24 h (q24h), q12h, and q8h. Pharmacokinetic (PK) data were derived from an...
