27
Q

Osteomyelitis Risk Factors

A

Bactremia
expecially with hardware

Compound Fracture

Recent Surgery

Chronic/Poorly Healing Wounds
decibitus ulcers / diabetic foot infection

28
Q

Osteomyelitis due to
Contiguous Infection and Diabetic Foot infections
(Broken Bones/Post traumatic)

is _____microbial?

A

POLYmicrobial

  • *POLY**
  • *Continguous Infection**

Diabetic Foot / Broken Bones / Post-Traumatic

29
Q

Most Common Bacteria

Osteomyelitis

A

STAPH. AUREUS
MRSA is increasing

Streptococcus

Gram -NEG- Bacilli

P. Aeruginosa

Anaerobes

30
Q

WHEN to treat EMPIRICALLY + What Abx?

for
Osteomyelitis?

A

typically NOT treating empirically –> want cultures first

only if:
HEMODYNAMICALLY UNSTABLE
cover for:
MRSA / Streptococci / Gram-NEG- bacilli

VANCOMYCIN** + **CEFEPIME

PCN ALLERGY:
instead of cefepime –> cipro or aztreonam

31
Q

Special Considerations for:
Vertebral Osteomyelitis

RISK FACTORS FOR BACTEREMIA

A

Vertebral Osteomyelitis
typically caused by hematogenous spread

Increased risk for bacteremia:

  • *IVDA**
  • *HEMODIALYSIS**
  • *Immunocompromised Host**
32
Q

Special Considerations for
Posttraumatic Osteomyelitis

Recommendations

A

1/4 of compound fractures –> Osteomyelitis

Within 6 HOURS of open Trauma
IRRIGATION + DEBRIDEMENT
+
PROPHYLAXIS
Vancomycin + Cefepime
for 1-3 days post trauma

avoid FQ’s due to reduced fracture healing

33
Q

Diabetic Foot Infections

RISK FACTORS

A

Patients with these are at HIGH RISK:
inspect feet DAILY

Peripheral Neuropathy

PAD = Peripheral Arterial Disease

Immune Impairment
