Pharmacokinetics of Nebulized Amikacin in Non Invasive Ventilated Healthy Volunteers.

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Bronchospasm and Obstruction
Chronic Respiratory Insufficiency
Acute Respiratory Insufficiency
Interventions
Device: Nebulizer
Registration Number
NCT01901497
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital St Luc, Brussels
Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the pharmacokinetics of nebulized amikacin administered with three vibrating mesh nebulizers coupled with a single limb circuit bilevel ventilator in healthy volunteers. Following our previous in vitro study, our hypotheses are that the pharmacokinetics varies among the devices tested and that a most efficient device can be identified.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pharmacokinetics of nebulized amikacinwithin the first 24 hours after nebulization

The area under the urinary amikacin concentration-time curve after nebulization(AUC0-24 hour) is calculated from the data obtained during 24 hours after nebulization. To determine amikacin absorption during the nebulization, amikacin concentrations are measured in the 24 hours urine collections, which reflected the quantity of dose absorbed via inhalation.
