Nebcin
Nebcin [neb´sin] trademark for preparations of tobramycin sulfate, an aminoglycosideantibiotic.tobramycin (toe-bra-mye-sin) tobramycin, Bethkis (trade name), Nebcin (trade name), TOBI (trade name), TOBI Podhaler (trade name) Classification Therapeutic: anti infectives Pharmacologic: aminoglycosides Pregnancy Category: D
IndicationsTreatment of serious Gram-negative bacterial infections and infections caused by staphylococci when penicillins or other less toxic drugs are contraindicated. Inhalation: Management of cystic fibrosis patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa.ActionInhibits protein synthesis in bacteria at level of 30S ribosome.Therapeutic effectsBactericidal action.Most aminoglycosides notable for activity against: In treatment of enterococcal infections, synergy with a penicillin is required.PharmacokineticsAbsorption: Well absorbed after IM administration. IV administration results in complete bioavailability. Low absorption follows administration by inhalation.Distribution: Widely distributed throughout extracellular fluid; crosses the placenta; small amounts enter breast milk.

- Obtain specimens for culture and sensitivity before initiating therapy. First dose may be given before receiving results.
- Evaluate eighth cranial nerve function by audiometry before and throughout therapy. Hearing loss is usually in the high-frequency range. Prompt recognition and intervention are essential in preventing permanent damage. Also monitor for vestibular dysfunction (vertigo, ataxia, nausea, vomiting). Eighth cranial nerve dysfunction is associated with persistently elevated peak aminoglycoside levels. Aminoglycosides should be discontinued if tinnitus or subjective hearing loss occurs.
- Monitor intake and output and daily weight to assess hydration status and renal function.
- Assess patient for signs of superinfection (fever, upper respiratory infection, vaginal itching or discharge, increasing malaise, diarrhea).
- Monitor bowel function. Diarrhea, abdominal cramping, fever, and bloody stools should be reported to health care professional promptly as a sign of pseudomembranous colitis. May begin up to several weeks following cessation of therapy.
- Lab Test Considerations: Monitor renal function by urinalysis, specific gravity, BUN, creatinine, and CCr before and during therapy.
- May cause ↑ BUN, AST, ALT, serum alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, creatinine, and LDH concentrations.
- May cause ↓ serum calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium concentrations.
Blood levels should be monitored periodically during therapy. Timing of blood levels is important in interpreting results. Draw blood for peak levels 1 hr after IM injection and 30 min after a 30-min IV infusion is completed. Trough levels should be drawn just before next dose. Peak level should not exceed 10 mcg/mL; trough level should not exceed 2 mcg/mL.
Potential Nursing DiagnosesRisk for infection (Indications) Disturbed sensory perception (auditory) (Side Effects) Deficient knowledge, related to medication regimen (Patient/Family Teaching)
Implementation- Keep patient well hydrated (1500–2000 mL/day) during therapy.
- Intramuscular: Administration should be deep into a well-developed muscle. Alternate injection sites.
Intravenous Administration- pH: 3.0–6.5.
- Intermittent Infusion: Diluent: Dilute each dose of tobramycin in 50–100 mL of D5W, D10W, D5/0.9% NaCl, 0.9% NaCl, Ringer’s or lactated Ringer’s solution. Concentration: not >10 mg/mL. Pediatric doses may be diluted in proportionately smaller amounts. Stable for 24 hr at room temperature, 96 hr if refrigerated. Also available in commercially mixed piggyback injections.

Patient/Family Teaching- Instruct patient to report signs of hypersensitivity, tinnitus, vertigo, hearing loss, rash, dizziness, or difficulty urinating.
- Advise patient of the importance of drinking plenty of liquids.
- Instruct patient to notify health care professional immediately if rash, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, fever, or bloody stools occur and not to treat with antidiarrheals without consulting health care professionals.
- Inhalation: Instruct patient to take inhalation twice daily as close to 12 hrs apart as possible; not <6 hrs apart. Solution is colorless to pale yellow and may darken with age without effecting quality. Administer over 15 min period using a hand-held PARI LC PLUS reusable nebulizer with a PARI VIOS (for Bethkis) or DeVibiss Pulmo Aide (for TOBI) compressor. Instruct patient on multiple therapies to take others first and use tobramycin last. Tobramycin-induced bronchospasm may be reduced if tobramycin is administered following bronchodilators. Instruct patient to sit or stand upright during inhalation and breathe normally through mouthpiece of nebulizer. Nose clips may help patient breathe through mouth. Store at room temperature for up to 28 days. Advise patient to disinfect the nebulizer parts (except tubing) by boiling them in water for a full 10 minutes every other treatment day.
- Instruct patient in correct technique for use of TOBI Podhaler. Wipe mouthpiece with clean, dry cloth after use; do not wash with water.
- Advise female patient to notify health care professional if pregnancy is planned or suspected or if breastfeeding.
Evaluation/Desired Outcomes- Resolution of the signs and symptoms of infection. If no response is seen within 3–5 days, new cultures should be taken.
