Abstract

We identified cord blood gentamicin concentrations that were higher than anticipated, and above clinical targets for immediate gentamicin re-dosing after birth. Incorporation of gentamicin levels at birth may aid in optimizing postnatal gentamicin dosing among infants exposed to intrapartum gentamicin.
