| project | data |
|---|---|
| drug class | Aminoglycoside antibiotics |
| Antibacterial spectrum | Gram-negative bacteria (such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae), some Gram-positive bacteria |
| half life | 2-3 hours (intravenous administration for adults) |
| main excretory route | Kidney (original excretion) |
2. Therapeutic indications of etilmicin
According to updates from authoritative domestic and foreign medical platforms (such as UpToDate and PubMed) in the past 10 days, etimicin is mainly used to treat the following infections:
| Indications | clinical effectiveness | Treatment recommendations |
|---|---|---|
| complicated urinary tract infection | 82-91% | 7-10 days |
| Respiratory tract infection (nosocomial pneumonia) | 75-88% | 10-14 days |
| Abdominal infection (combined with anaerobic bacteria requires combined use of metronidazole) | 68-79% | 7-14 days |
| Skin and soft tissue infections | 80-85% | 7 days |
3. Recent hot topics of discussion
1.Drug resistance issues:Weibo medical V@Doctor of Pharmacology recently published an article stating that monitoring in East China showed that the resistance rate of E. coli to etilmicin has reached 21%, triggering a discussion on the rational use of drugs.
2.Nebulized drug delivery controversy:Douyin's popular medical science account "Respiratory Department Lao Li" released a video emphasizing that aerosolized administration of etilmicin is an off-label medication and requires strict risk assessment.
3.Medication safety for children:Zhihu hot posts show that the pediatric department of a tertiary hospital reported that the adverse reaction rate of etilmicin in the treatment of otitis media in children is three times higher than that in adults.
4. Precautions for use
| Things to note | Specific content |
|---|---|
| Kidney function monitoring | Serum creatinine needs to be tested before and after medication, and the dosage should be adjusted. |
| Ototoxicity | Avoid combination with ototoxic drugs such as furosemide |
| pregnancy grade | Class D (disabled) |
| drug interactions | Concomitant use with cephalosporins may increase nephrotoxicity |
5. Latest opinions of experts
The "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia in Adults (2023 Updated Edition)" released by the Respiratory Disease Branch of the Chinese Medical Association in September recommended:
• Etilmicin as an alternative treatment for carbapenem-resistant infections (Evidence Level B)
• Blood drug concentration monitoring is recommended (trough concentration should be <1μg/mL)
• The course of treatment generally does not exceed 14 days
Conclusion
As an important antibacterial drug, etilmicin still has clinical value in the treatment of Gram-negative bacterial infections, but it is necessary to strictly control the indications and pay attention to the development of drug resistance. Recent hot discussions remind us that the rational use of antibiotics requires the joint efforts of doctors and patients to avoid public health problems caused by misuse.
