  • Title: Aminoglycoside dosing and monitoring for Pseudomonas aeruginosa during acute pulmonary exacerbations in cystic fibrosis.
    Author: Ochs MA, Dillman NO, Caverly LJ, Chaffee VD.
    Journal: Pediatr Pulmonol; 2021 Dec; 56(12):3634-3643. PubMed ID: 33983680.
    Abstract:
    Aminoglycosides are commonly used for the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PsA) in the setting of acute pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) in pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). There are controversies and practice differences between institutions related to aminoglycoside dosing and monitoring strategies. The purpose of this review article is to summarize the currently available literature and identify gaps in the literature related to pharmacokinetic parameter goals, aminoglycoside dosing strategies, and methods for monitoring serum aminoglycoside concentrations for treatment of PsA in CF PEx, and throughout will discuss anticipated changes with the increasing availability of highly effective CF transmembrane conductance regulator modulators. This review focuses on tobramycin, as it is the most commonly used aminoglycoside in CF PEx, and will briefly discuss special circumstances surrounding use of amikacin and gentamicin.
