This study compared the pharmacokinetics of inhaled colistin administered through vibrating mesh nebulizers (VMNs) and generic jet nebulizers (JNs) in VARI patients. The results showed comparable colistin exposures in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) between VMN and JN, suggesting that JN may be a viable alternative to VMN. However, therapeutic drug monitoring in the ELF is advised due to low exposure, high variability, and appreciable systemic absorption.
Background: Rising antimicrobial resistance has led to a revived interest in inhaled colistin treatment in the critically ill patient with ventilator-associated respiratory infection (VARI). Nebulization via vibrating mesh nebulizers (VMNs) is considered the current standard-of-care, yet the use of generic jet nebulizers (JNs) is more widespread. Few data exist on the intrapulmonary pharmacokinetics of colistin when administered through VMNs, while there is a complete paucity regarding the use of JNs. Methods: In this study, 18 VARI patients who received 2 million international units of inhaled colistimethate sodium (CMS) through a VMN were pharmacokinetically compared with six VARI patients who received the same drug dose through a JN, in the absence of systemic CMS administration. Results: Surprisingly, VMN and JN led to comparable formed colistin exposures in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) (median (IQR) AUC(0-24): 86.2 (46.0-185.9) mg/L center dot h with VMN and 91.5 (78.1-110.3) mg/L center dot h with JN). The maximum ELF concentration was 10.4 (4.7-22.6) mg/L and 7.4 (6.2-10.3) mg/L, respectively. Conclusions: Based on our results, JN might be considered a viable alternative to the theoretically superior VMN. Therapeutic drug monitoring in the ELF can be advised due to the observed low exposure, high variability, and appreciable systemic absorption.
