Pre-operative Abx prophylaxis time line
- If using cefazolin or cefuroxime 60 minutes before incision
- If a quinolone or vanc is used start at 120 minutes before
- Intraoperative: give an additional dose if surgery is >3-4 hours or with major blood loss
- POST-OP: Abx are not usually used if used DC within 24 hours
AOM treatment is kids: when to consider observation
- Try observation fo 2-3 days if symptoms are non-severe (mild otalgia (<48 hours or T< 102.2F)
- Age 6-23 months symptoms are in one ear only
- >= 2 years, symptoms in 1 or both ears
- If symptoms do not improve or worsen use antibiotics
Risk factors for MRSA, MDR resistant Psuedomonas or other MDR pathogens
Risk for MDR pathogens in VAP?
- HAP/VAP
- IV antibiotic use within the last 90 days
- High prevalence of MRSA in the hospital
- Positive MRSA nasal swab
- VAP
- Hospitalization >= 5 days prior to VAP
- Septic shock at the time of VAP onset
- ARDS prior to VAP
- Acute renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis) prior to VAP onset
HAP/VAP Treatment:
What drugs and what do you target if the patient
- HAP without risk of mortality and low MRSA risk
- VAP without risk factors for MDR pathogens or MRSA
- Target Pseudomonas and MSSA
- Pick one
- Pip/tazo
- Cefepime
- Levofloxacin
- Imipenem/cilastatin or meropenem
- Pick one
HAP/VAP Treatment
