Steady-state pharmacokinetics of intravenous colistin methanesulphonate in patients with cystic fibrosis.
OBJECTIVES To define the steady-state pharmacokinetics of colistin methanesulphonate and colistin in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) following intravenous administration of the former. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted in 12 patients with CF following intravenous administration of colistin methanesulphonate (1.63-3.11 mg/kg) every 8 h for at least 2 days. On the day of study, f...
متن کاملAntenatal Dexamethasone For Women at Risk af Preterm Birth and Intraventricular Haemorrhage: What is the Truth?
Administration of antenatal corticosteroids to pregnant women with imminent delivery of a newborn at 24 to 34 weeks of gestation represents one of the most important advances in perinatal medicine in the past 25 years1,2. A single course of antenatal steroid has been associated with a decrease in acute neonatal systemic morbidity and mortality after preterm birth reducing the risk of respirator...
متن کاملAn Investigation into the Vancomycin Concentration in the Cerebrospinal Fluid Due to Vancomycin Intraventricular Administration in Newborns
Treatment against shunt infection by transvenous antimicrobial treatment is difficult, with a high risk of relapse. Consequently, to maintain a sufficient cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentration, intraventricular administration is utilized in combination with the transvenous administration of vancomycin (VCM). Few studies have so far investigated the optimum administration dose for newborns and...
متن کاملSafety and clinical response of intraventricular caspofungin for Scedosporium apiospermum complex central nervous system infection
We present a 71-year old woman treated with 14 days of 5 mg intraventricular caspofungin for Scedosporium apiospermum complex meningoencephalitis diagnosed after spinal fusion and instrumentation. Cerebrospinal fluid studies improved during therapy and intraventricular administration was well tolerated. Within weeks of discontinuation, the patient experienced clinical deterioration with disease...
متن کاملElectrophysiological effects of direct current countershock before and after ouabain sensitization and after diphenylhydantoin desensitization in the dog.
The effects of synchronized direct current countershock on ventricular automaticity, intraventricular conduction, and atrioventricular conduction were studied before and after ouabain administration and after diphenylhydantoin. At the level of electrical energy that induced ventricular arrhythmias, averaging 159 watt-seconds, countershock transiently increased ventricular automaticity and prolo...
