Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Area Under the Curve (AUC) 0-4 Hours of a Single Dose of Intravenous Ibuprofen (IVIb) Administered Over 5-7 Minutes.
Time Frame: 4 hours
This outcome measurement was to the determine the area under the plot of plasma concentrations of drug against time after drug administration. Pharmacokinetic samples were collected immediately following the first dose, the utilizing sparse sampling techniques, samples were collected at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours.
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of a Single Dose of Intravenous Ibuprofen (IVIb) Administered Over 5-7 Minutes.
Time Frame: 4 hours
This outcome measurement was to measure the maximal or peak measured serum concentration (Cmax) of a single dose of intravenous ibuprofen (IVIb) after its administration. Pharmacokinetic samples were collected immediately following the first dose, the utilizing sparse sampling techniques, samples were collected at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours.
Elimination Half Life (T 1/2) of a Single Dose of Intravenous Ibuprofen (IVIb) Administered Over 5-7 Minutes.
Time Frame: 4 hours
This outcome measurement was to determine the half-life or the period of time required for the concentration or amount of drug in the body to be reduced to exactly one-half of a given concentration or amount. Pharmacokinetic samples were collected immediately following the first dose, the utilizing sparse sampling techniques, samples were collected at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours.
Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of a Single Dose of Intravenous Ibuprofen (IVIb) Administered Over 5-7 Minutes.
Time Frame: 4 hours
This outcome measurement was to determine the time to maximum concentration (Tmax) of a single dose of intravenous ibuprofen (IVIb) after its administration. Pharmacokinetic samples were collected immediately following the first dose, the utilizing sparse sampling techniques, samples were collected at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 4 hours.
