25
Q

Since NSAIDs can cause GI toxicity, how should treatment to pericarditis be approached?

31
Q

What type of agents are necessary for infective endocarditis?

A

bactericidal agents

Make sure to optimize sustained bactericidal serum concentrations throughout as much of the dosing interval as possible

32
Q

How to approach empiric therapy for infective endocarditis?

A

Therapy should be targeted to the organism isolated from blood cx

if subacute, empiric therapy is not always necessary and therapy can await cultures (1-3 days)

33
Q

If suspecting acute infective endocarditis, what is the protocol?

A

obtian ID consult

Abx should cover MSSA, MRSA, Streptococci and Enterococci

Once hemodynamically stable, can continue IV therapy as outpatient

Counsel on need for immediate evaluation if sx worsen

IV abx duration for 4-6 weeks

Vanc is reasonable inital therapy

A

Abrupt cessation of therapy

43
Q

What are the adverse effects of Furosemide?

A

44
Q

What is the benefit of adding Colchicine to NSAIDs for pericarditis?
