getamycin nebulazation

[ph-adil]

Dear all:

Recently we start to use the gentamycin 40 mg nebulaization 2 times daily.

We take 1 ml from amp 40mg/ml and adding 3 ml normal saline to it(total volume 4 ml).

The dose given 30 mins post ventolin 0.25 ml(1.25mg) nebulazation.

And chest massage post genta dose.

the patient has a lot of white clear excretion.

We sent the sample of that secretion to the lab the result is negative.

The patient has been incubated more than 2 weeks.

We started the dexamethason inj (dart protocol).

But still the patient not improved.

Any one has experience with genta neb. And for how long it should be used.
