“…Previous reported studies indicated that the majority of animals entered neuromuscular paralysis after high doses of aminoglycosides [282,283,403]. In our study, we assumed 70 % of the animals would enter neuromuscular paralysis after ultra-high doses of aminoglycosides.…”

“…The occurrence of neuromuscular paralysis and respiratory depression after high doses of aminoglycosides has previously been reported [282,283,434]. In our invasive, short-term study, we wanted to determine if the animals enter neuromuscular paralysis and survive when supported by ventilator for the duration of paralysis.…”

“…These toxicities are typically observed when larger doses of aminoglycosides are administered for prolonged periods or usual doses are given to patients with underlying renal disease [281]. A relatively underappreciated toxicity associated with high C max is neuromuscular weakness [282,283].…”

“…Acute neuromuscular weakness is one of the rarely reported side effects of aminoglycoside dosing. This side effect is sometimes observed after a single dose of aminoglycosides [282,400]. In a case report, Warner et al indicated that patients with low calcium may exhibit particular sensitivity to neuromuscular weakness and ventilator dependency with aminoglycoside administration [401].…”

“…In a case report, Warner et al indicated that patients with low calcium may exhibit particular sensitivity to neuromuscular weakness and ventilator dependency with aminoglycoside administration [401]. Neuromuscular weakness may occur with increased frequency when aminoglycosides are administered intravenously along with loop diuretics, non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-malarial drugs, other neuromuscular blocking drugs and/ or anesthetic agents [282,402]. Neuromuscular weakness appears to be due to a block of the release of acetylcholine in response to neuronal stimulation and also by decreased post junctional sensitivity [400,402,403].…”

A Single, Ultra‐High Dose Aminoglycoside Therapy in a Rat Model of E. coli Induced Septic Shock

Bacterial infections are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in both the community and nosocomial settings, particularly among the elderly and chronically ill. Sepsis is the body's response to antigens and toxins released by the invasive pathogenic organisms that cause infection. When infection is not effectively controlled, sepsis may develop and progress to severe sepsis and septic shock. Early diagnosis and treatment is pivotal for survival in severe sepsis and particularly, septic shock. Our research focuses on developing a novel treatment strategy for septic shock by using single, ultra-high doses of aminoglycosides.In this project, the effect of a single, ultra-high dose of gentamicin in clearing bacteria from the blood and reducing the bacterial burden in vital organs was evaluated in a rat model of E. coli (Bort strain) induced peritonitis with severe sepsis/septic shock. Serum cytokine levels and serum lactate levels were serially measured. Further, the potential adverse effects of ultra-high dosing of aminoglycoside antibiotics in a short-term (9 h) invasive study and longterm (180 days) non-invasive study were assessed. Neuromuscular paralyses due to ultra-high doses of aminoglycosides were assessed. In addition, renal injury markers such as serum creatinine and urinary Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) were assayed.The auditory and vestibular function was also assessed after ultra-high dosing of aminoglycoside in the long-term study.We conclude that animals can tolerate ultra-high doses of aminoglycosides with appropriate support. Animals were under neuromuscular paralysis for 28 -50 minutes and were on ventilator support after single ultra-high doses (80 and 160 mg/kg) of aminoglycoside antibiotics (gentamicin and tobramycin). There was no significant acute or delayed renal or ototoxicity associated with the single, ultra-high dose aminoglycoside therapy.
