Abstract

Objective The aim of this study was to determine the time (Tmax) to the maximum concentration (Cmax) of amikacin sulphate in synovial fluid of the radiocarpal joint (RCJ) following cephalic intravenous regional limb perfusion (IVRLP) using 2 g of amikacin sulphate.

Methods Cephalic IVRLP was performed with 2 g of amikacin sulphate diluted in 0.9% NaCl to a total volume of 100 mL in six healthy adult mixed breed mares. An Esmarch's rubber tourniquet was applied for 30 minutes and the antibiotic solution was infused through a 23-gauge butterfly catheter. Synovial fluid was collected from the RCJ prior to the infusion and at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes after completion of IVRLP. The tourniquet was removed after the last arthrocentesis. Synovial fluid amikacin sulphate concentrations were determined by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry.

Results The calculated mean Tmax occurred at 15 minutes (range: 10–20 minutes) post-perfusion. The highest synovial fluid amikacin sulphate concentration was noted at 10 minutes in 2 horses, 15 minutes in 2 horses and 20 minutes in 2 horses. The highest mean concentration was 1023 µg/mL and was noted at 20 minutes. Synovial mean concentrations were significantly different between 15 and 30 minutes.

Clinical Significance In this study no Tmax occurred after 20 minutes; thus, 30 minutes of tourniquet application time appear to be excessive. The 20 minutes duration of tourniquet application appears sufficient for the treatment of the RCJ in cephalic IVRLP using 2 g amikacin sulphate in a total volume of 100 mL.
