Pharmacokinetics in Pediatric Patients: Overview and Drug Absorption

310
Understanding the physiological differences in the pediatric population is crucial for effective pharmacotherapy. Neonates, infants, and children exhibit significant variations in gastric pH, gastric emptying time, intestinal transit time, and biliary function. These variations profoundly affect oral drug absorption, necessitating a nuanced approach to pediatric dosing.Neonates present with a unique physiological profile, having a gastric pH greater than 4 and faster and more irregular gastric...

Lipids also are sources of energy that power cellular processes. Like carbohydrates, lipids are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, but these atoms are arranged differently. Most lipids are nonpolar and hydrophobic. Major types include fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids.
Fatty acids are catabolized in a process called beta-oxidation, which takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria and converts their fatty acid chains into two-carbon units of acetyl groups. The acetyl...

There are various methods for the preparation of carboxylic acids. For example, oxidation of primary alcohols or aldehydes using strong oxidizing agents results in a carboxylic acid.  Aldehydes can also be oxidized in the presence of mild oxidizing agents.

Acid–Base Titration: Overview01:26

Acid–Base Titration: Overview

19.1K
An acid-base titration is a technique used to determine the concentration of an unknown acid or base, using a titrant of known concentration–either a base for acid titration or an acid for base titration. The process involves gradually adding the titrant, leading to a predictable change in the pH of the solution. This change is plotted on a titration curve, showing how a solution's pH varies with the amount of titrant added. Such curves are instrumental in monitoring the...

The Citric Acid Cycle: Overview01:37

The Citric Acid Cycle: Overview

23.2K
In aerobic organisms, the citric acid cycle is the second stage of cellular respiration wherein molecules derived from the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are oxidized into carbon dioxide and energy. This process is also known as the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle as the first product of the cycle, citric acid, contains three carboxyl groups in its structure. Alternatively, this cycle is also referred to as the Krebs cycle, in honor of its discoverer Sir Hans Krebs.
The citric...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Emergency Medicine
  • Hematology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a hemostatic agent with proven benefits in adult trauma and surgery.
  • Its application in pediatric medicine for hemorrhage management is less researched, with existing knowledge gaps.
  • Inconsistent pediatric-specific clinical guidelines highlight the need for further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the efficacy, pharmacokinetics, dosing, and safety of TXA in pediatric populations.
  • To identify knowledge gaps and inconsistencies in the current use of TXA for children.
  • To inform the development of standardized pediatric protocols for TXA administration.

Main Methods:

  • A targeted literature search was performed using PubMed and Google Scholar.
  • Keywords included MeSH terms related to TXA efficacy, pharmacokinetics, dosing, and safety in children (0-18 years).
  • Studies published between 1995 and February 2025 were included.

Main Results:

  • TXA demonstrates efficacy in reducing blood loss, transfusion needs, and improving survival in pediatric trauma, surgery, and emergencies.
  • Nebulized TXA shows potential for specific conditions like post-tonsillectomy hemorrhage.
  • Significant gaps remain regarding age-specific pharmacokinetics, long-term safety, thromboembolic risks, and seizure risks.

Conclusions:

  • TXA is critical for pediatric hemorrhagic emergencies, improving survival and outcomes.
  • Further interdisciplinary research, standardized pediatric guidelines, and enhanced provider training are essential.
  • Addressing knowledge gaps is key to safe and effective TXA implementation in diverse pediatric settings.
