[Distribution of cefotiam dihydrochloride to the intraabdominal exudate (author's transl)].
The concentration of serum and intraperitoneal exudate after dripping intravenous administration of CTM were measured. Four male cases of the emergent laparotomy, a Cushing's ulcer, a hemorrhagic gastric ulcer, an adhesive ileus and acute terminal ileitis were investigated on this study. Two grams of CTM dissolving into 100 ml of physiological saline solution were prepared and administered in a period of 1 hour by intravenous drip (i.v.d.) for all cases after operation. The measurement of CTM-concentration in serum and intraperitoneal exudate were made at 30 minutes, 60 minutes following administration by serum and intraperitoneal exudate were made at 30 minutes, 60 minutes following administration by i.v.d. and at 30 minutes, hourly intervals over a 6-hour period after total administration. The intraperitoneal exudate for this study were collected through a drain which provided at the operation. These samples were measured by Agar-well method at Takeda Central Research Laboratory. Takeda Co., Ltd. The mean value of serum CTM at 30 minutes after the beginning of i.v.d. administration was 65.7 micrograms/ml and the maximum value, 79 micrograms/ml was obtained at 60 minutes. The following mean values at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 hours and 6 hours after total administration were 39.1, 26.4, 14.6, 8.9, 4.7 and 0.6 microgram/ml. On the other hand, the mean values of CTM intraperitineal exudate at the same time intervals were 4.9, 20.7, 32.0, 34.3, 22.4, 13.9, 11.2, 8.7 and 3.3 micrograms/ml. These results showed that there were much transfer of CTM between serum and intraperitoneal exudate corresponding to the amount of administration.
