Article Synopsis
- Amikacin is still a recommended antibiotic for emergency surgeries, especially for intra-abdominal infections, with current guidelines suggesting a dose of 15-20 mg/kg per day.
- A study analyzed data from 84 patients over 2.5 years to see how well they achieved target drug concentrations, finding that 32% did not, primarily due to lower doses.
- The study suggests that a fixed initial dose of 2500 mg of amikacin could optimize treatment and improve patient outcomes in emergency surgical settings.
