19
Q

PEDS UTI common pathogen

20
Q

PEDS UTI methods of urine collection

A

clean catch: older patients

CATHERTERIZATION: preffered for <25 months age group

supra-pubic aspiration (SPA): gold standard, but invasive for pts who fail catheter

bag specimen not recommended: high false positive

21
Q

Urine culture

A

Clean Catch > 100,000 CFU/mL
Catheter specimen > 10,000 CFU/mL
SPA > 10,000 CF/mL

22
Q

PEDS UTI treatment considerations

Oral and IV equally efficacious

Most patients can have oral

IV for: hemodynamically unstable or NPO
Can change to oral when patient has clinical improvement
