title: [Use of a single daily dose of tobramycin sulfate for the prevention of infections caused by the positioning of fixed drains in body cavities].
abstract: The clinical and bacterial efficiency of tobramycin sulphate administered once a day (150 mg/day) in the prevention of pleural cavity and bladder infections was evaluated by considering 30 surgical patients fitted with thoracostomic tubes or bladder catheters. Pleural cavity sterility was maintained in 74% of cases and bladder sterility was maintained or obtained in 100% of cases. These results confirm the success of the treatment.
