Gentamicin dosage in children.
The results of 49 serum gentamicin assays from children of 2 weeks to 11 years of age are presented. The dose of gentamicin given 8-hourly intramuscularly ranged from 0-7 mg/kg-4-9 mg/kg. Doses of 1-7 mg/kg or less did not give adequate serum concentrations. As a result of these observations it is suggested that an intramuscular dose of 2-5 mg/kg given 8-hourly is suitable for most children in ...
متن کاملDosage schedule of gentamicin for chronic renal insufficiency in children.
Gentamicin was given to paediatric patients with chronic renal disease complicated by infections by Gram-negative organisms, in which renal function varied from normal to severely insufficient. Peak serum levels after an intramuscular dose of 1 mg/kg body weight ranged from 3.1 to 9.4 microgram/ml, which appeared adequate for therapy. The peak value was not related to the renal function of the ...
متن کاملGentamicin dosage intervals in neonates: longer dosage interval--less toxicity.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of toxic trough serum gentamicin levels in neonates in the first week of life, with different dosage intervals. METHODS This was a retrospective study of neonates born between 01.07.95 and 31.12.95, who received gentamicin. Data were collected on birth weight, gestation, gentamicin dose, the trough level of gentamicin, serum crea...
متن کاملGentamicin dosage in preterm and term neonates.
Pre-dose and peak serum levels of gentamicin were measured in 82 neonates (25-42 weeks' gestational age), and for comparison in 10 infants and 9 children. Dosage was 2-2.5 mg/kg twice daily for the neonates, and three times daily for infants and children. Neonates were subdivided according to gestational age and weight. Serum levels of gentamicin were very variable in all groups. Preterm neonat...
