Q

What is a Aminoglycosides?

Think what ?

a mean old mycin =

What is not a *not mean old mycins?

mycin = mice (ears) so think what ?

So what do you monitor The ears for ?

human ear shaped like kidney so think what ?

What do we use to monitor the kidney function?

What is the best indicator of kidney function?

The kidneys are shaped like what number?

Aminoglycosides affect what cranial nerve?

How often do you administer aminoglycosides?

What routes can you use ?

Why route is avoided and why ?

The oral route is only given in which cases and why ?

WHO CAN STERILIZE MY BOWEL?

WhAt does TAP mean ?

Why do we do TAP?

A

They are powerful antibiotics (the BIG
GUNS!!!)

Think a a mean old mycin

Examples: Vancomycin
Streptomycin
gentamicin

a mean old mycin = serious, life threatening, resistent, gram negative (TB, etc.)… if it
ends in mycin = mean old mycin

The thromycin’s like zithromycin, clarithromycin (thro) if it has thro = throw it off the list…

mycin = mice = Micky (ears)… oto-toxic

hearing, tinnitus, vertigo (equalibrium)

human ear shaped like kidney… nephro-toxicity!

-monitor creatinine

creatinine (best indicator for
kidney functionr)

8

Cranial nerve 8

you administer them Q8H

IM or IV

do not give PO, because they are not absorbed..

1.)Hepatic encephalopathy
Also called Liver Coma, Ammonia-Induced
Encephalopathy Because When want a sterile bowel
Due to a high ammonia level

2.) Pre-op Bowel surgery

WHO CAN STERILIZE MY BOWEL? NEO
KAN = NEOmycin and KANmycin

T: trough: when the drug is at its lowest…
A: adminster
P: peak: when the drug is at its highest

Why do we do a TAP?! (narrow therapeutic window) what works/what kills…

How they help: Very powerful antibiotics that treat Gram negative bacteria such as meningitis, infective endocarditis, septicemia, c difficle

How they harm:
- cause ear and ; kidney damage/ ototoxicity/nephrotoxicity

  • hearing , ringing , dizziness
  • do not give during pregnancy
  • need to know the peak/trough
    Peak(IV .30) (PO 1hr)
    Trough(.30hr before)
    -antidote: calcium gluconate)
