Ibuprofen may be an alternative to acetaminophen to control fever in children but little is known about its pharmacokinetics in pediatric patients. We studied 17 patients (age 3-10 yr) with fever; the most prevalent diagnoses were streptococcal pharyngitis and otitis media. Ibuprofen liquid was given as a single dose, 5 mg/kg (9 patients) or 10 mg/kg (8 patients).

The influence of primary fluids and dilutional volumes on the accuracy of in vitro delivery of cefazolin sodium by gravity flow through a new controlled-release membrane infusion device was studied. For primary fluid studies, cefazolin 1 g (as the sodium salt) in 10 mL of sterile water for injection was injected into the drug chamber, which is separated by a membrane from the fluid chamber; the entire dose passes into the fluid chamber over a set time. The inlet port of the fluid chamber was connected to the 1-L primary fluid bag, and the outlet port was connected to an administration set.
