Pharmacotherapeutics of anti-infectives in the respiratory tract
Antibiotic levels in tissues and fluids of the respiratory tract have been seen as significant for therapeutic efficacy: Using
appropriately chosen drugs in localized infections due to pathogenic microorganisms, concept of “tissue pharmacokinetics”
has become controversial, taking into account multiple factors limiting the significance of antibiotic tissue kinetics and “high
tissue antibiotic levels”. Multiple anatomic sites constitute human respiratory tract and can be diversely infected. Some have
been explored in terms of antibiotic local concentrations, like bronchial secretions; many data on a variety of antibiotic local
levels have been published: but inflammatory conditions, purulence, edema influencing the variable permeability of tissue
barriers to drugs tested are factors leading to a doubtful value of data established. Similarly in terms of concentrations in
pulmonary tissues and fluids, collected directly from lungs, or in surgical conditions or exploratory conditions, local transfer of
antibiotics through lung membranes, alveolar structures, levels of antibiotics can be reached. In respiratory tract infected sites
the potential antibiotic distal course of antibiotics has been explored, with however methodological and interpretive remaining
questions, and potential therapeutic efficacy. Other pharmacotherapeutic models have been used such as Epithelial lining fluid
(ELF), Alveolar Macrophages (AM), Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), reflecting the potential improvement in the respiratory
tract infections: in most respiratory tract infected sites the potential antibiotic distal course of antibiotics has been explored
with interpretive remaining questions.
Biography
Deanna Mulvihill has her expertise in evaluation and passion for improving the health and wellbeing. Her open and contextual evaluation model based on responsive
constructivists creates new pathways for improving healthcare. She has built this model after years of experience in research, evaluation, teaching, and administration
both in hospital and education institutions. The foundation is based on fourth-generation evaluation (Guba & Lincoln, 1989) which is a methodology that utilizes the
previous generations of evaluation: measurement, description and judgment. It allows for value-pluralism. This approach is responsive to all stakeholders and has
a different way of focusing.
