Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study aims to define the pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of a commonly used antibiotic to treat cIAI, metronidazole, in the intestinal wall tissue of healthy infants undergoing intestinal surgery to optimize intestinal wall penetration of antibiotics in infants. Metronidazole will be given at standard of care intravenous loading dose of 30 mg/kg 15 minutes prior to incision, with a maximum dose of 2g. Intraoperative plasma samples will be obtained from pre-existing vascular access catheters at end of bolus, 30, 60, 90 minutes, at time of intestinal excision, and at the end of the case in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid microcontainers, exceeding no more than 5mL total.
