Types of PNA
- Community acquired
- outside healthcare facilities
- Aspiration
- aspiration of oral or GI content
- Hospital Acquired
- PNA occurs 48+ hours after admission
- Ventilator Associated
- 48-72 hours after intubation
- Health Care Associated
- hospitalized at least 2 days within 90 days
- SNF and LTC
- IV abx, wound care, chemo, HD within last 30 days
- Resemble HAP; more resistant bacteria
Common Pathogens associated with each type of PNA

- Atypical: mycoplasma, chlamydia, legionella
- Hflu, Moraxella, Strep pna
- Aspiration:
- anaerobes
- strep viridans, Gram - bacilli

CURB-65
1 point per positive: (1 = treat outpatient; 2+ = hospitalize)
- age 65+
- confusion
- uremia (BUN19+mg/dL)
- RR >30/min
- BP <90/60
SOAR Score
1 point per positive: (<2 = non severe; 2+ = severe)
- SBP <90
- Oxygen (Pa02; Fi02 <250)
- age 65+
- RR 30+/min
Assessing Severity of PNA: Step 1
is yes to ANY of these then proceed to step 2; if all no = RISK CLASS I
-
Presence of:
- >50 yo
- AMS
- P: 125+/min
- RR >30/min
- SBP<90mmHg
- Temp <35C or 40+C
-
Hx of:
- neoplastic disease
- congestive heart failure
- cerebrovascular disease
- renal disease
- liver disease
Assessing Severity of PNA: Step 2 (demographics)
Male
Female
SNF resident
Assessing Severity of PNA: Step 2 (Comorbidities)
- Cancer
- liver disease
- CHF
- Cerebrovascular
- Renal Disease
Assessing Severity of PNA: Step 2 (PE findings)
- AMS
- P125+/min
- RR >30/min
- SBP <90mmHg
- Temp <35C or 40+
Assessing Severity of PNA: Step 2 (Lab/Radiology)
- Arterial pH <7.35
- BUN 30+
- Na+ <130
- Glucose 250+
- Hct <30%
- PaO2 <60mmHg
- Pleural Effusion
Assessing Severity of PNA: Step 2 Scores
- <70 = Risk Class II
- 71-90 = Risk Class III
- 91-130 = Risk Class IV
- >130 = Risk Class V
- all are outpatient until IV (Moderate Risk) and V (High Risk) = hospital admission
