Special consideration is needed when intravenous drugs are administered simultaneously using a Y-site connector. This study aimed to investigate the physical compatibility of colistin with 6 analgesics at concentrations commonly used in clinical practice.
A pharmaceutical preparation of colistin was dissolved according to the manufacturer's instructions and diluted to a concentration of 1.5 mg/mL or 0.67 mg/mL (of colistin base). Simulated administration via Y-site infusion set was performed by mixing 5 mL of colistin solution with an equal volume of a solution of one of 6 intravenous analgesics. Infusion solutions of ibuprofen, ketoprofen, metamizole sodium, morphine sulfate, paracetamol, and tramadol hydrochloride were studied. For each analgesic tested, concentrates for injection were diluted with 2 solvents, resulting in 11 different combinations with each concentration of the colistin solution. The mixtures were visually inspected, and their turbidity was measured directly after mixing and at 3 consecutive time points (30, 60, and 120 minutes). Additionally, the pH of the mixtures was measured after 120 minutes and compared with the pH of the analgesic and the colistin solutions.
During visual inspection with the unaided eye, no precipitate formation or gas evolution was observed in any of the tested analgesics except for sodium metamizole, where the yellow color of the solutions was observed. For samples containing the mixture of ibuprofen and colistin, the turbidity measurements revealed the presence of turbidity in the studied mixtures. The greatest change in pH relative to the value immediately after preparation was noted for combinations of ketoprofen and morphine sulfate with the tested antibiotic.
Colistin was found to be incompatible with ibuprofen and metamizole sodium formulations. It should also not be combined with morphine sulfate due to the significant differences in the pH value of the preparations. The colistin 0.67 mg/mL and 1.5 mg/mL infusion solutions were physically compatible with ketoprofen, tramadol hydrochloride, and paracetamol.
当通过 Y 型管连接器同时给予静脉内药物时,需要特别考虑。本研究旨在调查在临床实践中常用浓度下黏菌素与 6 种镇痛药的物理相容性。
根据制造商的说明溶解黏菌素制剂,并将其稀释至 1.5mg/mL 或 0.67mg/mL(黏菌素碱)的浓度。通过将 5mL 黏菌素溶液与 6 种静脉内镇痛药之一的等体积溶液混合,模拟 Y 型管输注装置给药。研究了布洛芬、酮洛芬、盐酸曲马多、硫酸吗啡、对乙酰氨基酚和盐酸曲马多的输注溶液。对于每种测试的镇痛药,用 2 种溶剂稀释注射液,导致与每种黏菌素溶液浓度的 11 种不同组合。目视检查混合物,并在混合后和 3 个连续时间点(30、60 和 120 分钟)直接测量其浊度。此外,在 120 分钟后测量混合物的 pH 值,并与镇痛药和黏菌素溶液的 pH 值进行比较。
在用肉眼进行目视检查时,除了盐酸曲马多外,在任何测试的镇痛药中都没有观察到沉淀形成或气体释放,盐酸曲马多的溶液呈现黄色。对于含有布洛芬和黏菌素混合物的样品,浊度测量显示研究混合物中存在浊度。与制备后立即的值相比,变化最大的 pH 值是与测试抗生素组合的酮洛芬和硫酸吗啡。
黏菌素与布洛芬和盐酸曲马多制剂不相容。由于制剂 pH 值存在显著差异,因此不应与硫酸吗啡混合。黏菌素 0.67mg/mL 和 1.5mg/mL 输注溶液与酮洛芬、盐酸曲马多和对乙酰氨基酚在物理上相容。
