Pharmacokinetics and lung delivery of PDDS-aerosolized amikacin (NKTR-061) in intubated and mechanically ventilated patients with nosocomial pneumonia
INTRODUCTION Aminoglycosides aerosolization might achieve better diffusion into the alveolar compartment than intravenous use. The objective of this multicenter study was to evaluate aerosol-delivered amikacin penetration into the alveolar epithelial lining fluid (ELF) using a new vibrating mesh nebulizer (Pulmonary Drug Delivery System (PDDS), Nektar Therapeutics), which delivers high doses to...
متن کاملRelationship between trough plasma and epithelial lining fluid concentrations of voriconazole in lung transplant recipients.
Trough (predose) voriconazole concentrations in plasma and pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of lung transplant recipients receiving oral voriconazole preemptive treatment were determined. The mean (± standard deviation [SD]) ELF/plasma ratio was 12.5 ± 6.3. A strong positive linear relationship was noted between trough plasma and ELF voriconazole concentrations (r(2) = 0.87), suggesting ...
متن کاملFosfomycin concentrations in epithelial lining fluid in weaning piglets.
Respiratory diseases are one of the most important problems in modern intensive swine production (Gardner and Hird, 1990). These diseases are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in weaning pigs (Gardner and Hird, 1990; Galina et al., 1994; Dos̆en et al., 2007). The concentrations of antibiotics in epithelial lining fluid (ELF) reflect the antimicrobial activity for extracellular pathogens ...
متن کاملEpithelial lining fluid solute concentrations in chronic obstructive lung disease patients and normal subjects.
The exhaled breath condensate (EBC) method represents a new, noninvasive way to detect inflammatory and metabolic markers in the fluid that covers the airways [epithelial lining fluid (ELF)]. However, respiratory droplets represent only a very small and variable fraction of the EBC, most (approximately 99.99%) of which is water vapor. Our objective was to show that ELF concentrations could be c...
متن کاملNormal alveolar epithelial lining fluid contains high levels of glutathione.
The epithelial cells on the alveolar surface of the human lower respiratory tract are vulnerable to toxic oxidants derived from inhaled pollutants or inflammatory cells. Although these lung cells have intracellular antioxidants, these defenses may be insufficient to protect the epithelial surface against oxidants present at the alveolar surface. This study demonstrates that the epithelial linin...
