To determine the effect of age on systemic exposure to inhaled salbutamol in children.
Fifty-eight asthmatic children, aged 3-16 years, inhaled 400 microg of salbutamol from a pressurized metered dose inhaler with spacer. The 20 min serum profile was analyzed.
Prescribing a dose on a microg kg(-1) basis caused reduced systemic exposure in young children (Y) compared with older children (O) (C(max-microg kg(-1)-adjusted) Y : O ratio (95%CI) = 0.55 (0.47, 0.65)) whereas a fixed nominal dose irrespective of age caused increased exposure in young children (C(max) Y : O ratio (95%CI) = 1.7 (1.3, 2.2)).
For similar systemic exposure, dosing should be adjusted to age or size but not on a fixed microg kg(-1) basis, which may lead to unnecessary suboptimal dosing.
确定年龄对儿童吸入沙丁胺醇全身暴露的影响。
58名3至16岁的哮喘儿童使用带储雾罐的压力定量吸入器吸入400微克沙丁胺醇。分析20分钟时的血清情况。
按微克每千克(-1)给药,幼儿(Y)的全身暴露比大龄儿童(O)减少(调整后的最大血药浓度微克每千克(-1):Y与O的比值(95%置信区间)=0.55(0.47,0.65)),而不考虑年龄的固定标称剂量会使幼儿的暴露增加(最大血药浓度Y与O的比值(95%置信区间)=1.7(1.3,2.2))。
为获得相似的全身暴露,给药应根据年龄或体重进行调整,而不是基于固定的微克每千克(-1),因为这可能导致不必要的次优给药。
