5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Effective antimicrobial use in the burn population is important since this population is at an increased risk for infections during their stay in hospital as a result of their burn injury. Tobramycin is an antibiotic that has activity against common burn wound associated pathogens, such as Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, and its use is becoming increasingly relevant due to the increased incidence of bacterial resistance to currently utilized antibiotics. Once daily dosing of tobramycin has been safely and effectively used in the majority of infected patients for many years with the proposed benefits of optimized antibacterial activity and reduced nephrotoxicity compared to traditional dosing. But, the once daily dosing regimen has yet to be validated in the burn population. The purpose of this study is to validate the plausibility of once daily tobramycin dosing in the burn population with intent to determine a safe, effective, and efficient dosing regimen for this population.
