- * The exposure rates for gentamicin and amikacin were 31.7% and 9.1%, respectively, with a significant majority of treatments starting within the first week of life, and changes in average daily doses noted over the years.
- * The study found low rates of overdose and underdose for both antibiotics, with factors such as year of admission and prematurity influencing gentamicin overdose rates, suggesting the effectiveness of a

Objectives: This review focuses on different tools for the assessment of hemodynamic status in preterm newborns.
