Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 337552 0
Area under the time-free plasma cefazolin concentration (AUC) curve after administration of a single 1g intravenous dose
Timepoint [1] 337552 0
Cefazolin free plasma concentration measurements will be done at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours and 8 hours after drug administration. The pharmacokinetic curve produced will be used to calculate the area under the time-free plasma cefazolin concentration curve.
Secondary outcome [1] 432309 0
Proportion of drug excreted unchanged in the urine
Timepoint [1] 432309 0
Over 8 hours from the time of drug administration
Secondary outcome [2] 432310 0
Free plasma cefazolin elimination half-life
Timepoint [2] 432310 0
Free plasma cefazolin concentration will be measured using a blood plasma laboratory assay at the following timepoints after cefazolin administration: 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours. Half-life will be calculated from the pharmacokinetic curve produced.
