For traditional three times a day dosing, serum gentamicin monitoring involves taking a blood draw immediately after infusing gentamicin, and then immediately before the next dose. These levels are referred to as "peak" and "trough" levels.

For gentamicin, tobramycin and netilmicin, the risk of ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity is increased if peak levels are consistently maintained above 12 to 14 mcg/ml or trough levels consistently exceed 2 mcg/ml. For amikacin, peak levels above 32 to 34 mcg/ml or trough levels greater than 10 mcg/ml have been associated...

Enterococcal infections should be treated with vancomycin combined with gentamicin. ... It is unclear whether elevated trough or peak levels are responsible for ototoxicity. Data in the literature suggest that trough levels of 13 to 32 mcg/ml and peak levels of 21 to 62 mcg/ml are associated with this adverse effect.

Peak gentamicin levels, especially in persons on extended interval dosing, are not a ... Trough gentamicin levels for extended interval dosing are tricky. Generally, when one goes from three-times/day dosing to once/day dosing (extended interval), one triples the dose. In other words, one uses a linear adjustment of dose.

In a usual ten-day course, the peak and trough gentamicin level in serum must be measured at least once. If no facilities for measurement are available it is better not to continue treatment beyond 72 hours.
