Q

Inpatient Management of Community Acquired Pneumonia

A

Medical Ward: respiratory fluroquinolone or ß lactam

ICU: ß-lactam + either azithromycin or a respiratory fluoroquinolone

Special Concerns - could probably look this up in Sanford : )

Pseudomonas: antipneumococcal, antipseudomonal ß-lactam + cipfrofloxacin or levofloxacin ORa ntipneumococcal, antipseudomonal ß-lactam + aminoglycoside and azithromycin

Psedomonas and Penicillin Allergy: aztreonam

CA-MRSA: add linezolid or vancomycin

17
Q

Sputum Examination in Community Acquired Pneumonia

A

specimen should be from deep cough, purulent

immediately transported to laboratory

examine under microscope - report semiquantitatively

performed to optimize antibiotic selection

18
Q

CURB-65 Scoring System

A

C - confusion

U - BUN level > 7 mmol/L

R - respiratory rate > 30 breaths/min

B - low blood pressure (systolic < 90 mmHg or diastolic < 60 mmHg)

65 - greater risk if over 65 years of age
