FIG. 1 Relationship between gender and Vd/kg of gentamicin. Women have a significantly higher Vd/kg. Clinical Microbiology and Infection 2010 16, 1258-1263DOI: (10.1111/j.1469-0691.2009.03074.x) Copyright © 2010 European Society of Clinical Infectious Diseases Terms and Conditions
FIG. 2 Time course of gentamicin concentrations on the first day of therapy, assuming a one-compartment pharmacokinetic model and first-order elimination kinetics. The coefficients of variation of Cmax and trough concentration were 0.24 and 1.22, respectively. Target Cmax range is defined by the solid lines (16–24 mg/L).
