For the typical
study neonate (BW 3.3 kg; SCr 0.9 mg/dL), clearance was 0.034 L/H/kg and volume was 0.52 L/
kg. At a 24-hour dosing interval, Monte Carlo simulations predicted target gentamicin peak and
trough concentrations could not be reliably achieved at any dose. At a 36-hour dosing interval, a
dose of 4-5 mg/kg is predicted to achieve target gentamicin peak and trough concentrations in
>90% of neonates.
