20. Summary Chuck • Had a flu-like illness • Diagnosed with Bacterial Pneumonia due to Staphylococcus Aureus Treatment • Prolonged course of IV and oral antibiotics • Was very ill but recovered completely • Annual flu shots expected 19

22. Case • 37 year old male 1st Day • Underwent a CT scan • Fiberoptic bronchoscopy with BAL • Transbronchial biopsy • Results were negative • That evening, had an aspiration event • Developed fevers to 103 degrees • Started on pipercillin / tazobactum but condition worsened 24

23. Case 3rd Day • Ciprofloxcin added to antibiotic regimen • A CXR showed worsening infiltrate and pleurl effusion • Thoracentesis was performed but no evidence of empyema 4th Day • Developing significant hypoxemia and respiratory insufficiency • Required intubation and ventilation 24 A

24. Case • Repeat fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed • Gram stain of the BAL revealed gram positive cocci • Due to high incidence of MRSA, started on vancomyocin • He developed ARDS with severe respiratory failure requiring 100% oxygen and significant amounts of PEEP • Enrolled in Liquid Ventilation Study 24 B

25. Case • Over 5 days, he improved • Peflubron was discontinued • Patient was extubated • One day later, patient was transferred to floor 24 C

26. Hospital Acquired Pneumonia • Pneumonia occurring greater than 48 hours after hospital admission • Accounts for 13-18% of all nosocomial infections • 5-10m cases per 1000 hospital admissions • Incidence increases 6-20 fold in mechanically ventilated patients • Up to 25% of ICU patients develop pneumonia • Associated mortality 20-50% • Attributable mortality more difficult to define but may be in excess of 10% 25

27. PathogenesisRespiratory Infections • Impaired host defenses • Sufficient innoculum to overwhelm the host defense • Virulent organisms 26

28. Routes Of Bacterial Entry • Microaspiration of oropharyngeal secretions colonized with pathogenic organisms • Aspiration of esophageal / gastric contents • Inhalation of infected aerosols • Hematogenous spread • Contiguous spread from infected site • Direct inoculation into airways of intubated patients • Translocation from GI tract 27

29. Etiology • Type of infection largely determined by the bacteria colonizing the oropharynx - Hospitalized patients may become colonized with aerobic gram negative bacteria within several days - 75% of severely ill patients become colonized within 48 hours • Overgrowth of the near sterile environment of the stomach and UGI tract may occur due to alterations in gastric pH - Illness, drugs, enteral feedings 28

30. Common Bacteria • Pseudomonas aeruginosa - 17% • Enterobacteriaceae - 11% • Klebsiella species - 7% • Escheichia coli - 6% • Haemophilus influenzae - 6% • Serratia marcens - 5% • Staphylococcus aureus - 16% 29

31. Other Pathogens • Less common pathogens include: - Streptococcus pneumoniae, anaerobes, influenza A and other viruses, Legionella species, Candida sp., Aspergillus sp. • Acinetobacter species have emerged as significant pathogens in some centers • The incidence of anaerobic bacteria as the cause of HAP may be overestimated: - Marik et al evaluated 185 patients with anaerobic cultures of PSB and BAL specimens - Only 1, nonpathogenic anaerobic species was isolated • Frequently polymicrobial 30

32. Etiology Based OnEpidemiology 1995 ATS Criteria • Severity of pneumonia • Presence of coexisting illness • Prior therapy • Length of hospitalization prior to pneumonia 31

33. Core Organisms • E. coli • Klebsiella • Proteus • Serratia • Hemophilus influenza • Methicillin - sensitive S. aureus • Streptococcus pneumoniae 32

34. Late Onset Severe HospitalAcquired Pneumonia: GreaterThan 5 Days After Admission • Core organisms plus • P. auriginosa • Acinetobacter species • Methicillin resistant staph aureus • Candida 33

35. Risk Factors ForSpecific Pathogens • Anaerobes (witnessed aspiration, recent abdominal surgery) • S. Aureus (coma, head trauma, IVDA, renal failure, DM) • Legionella (high dose steroids) • Pseudomonas aeruginosa (steroids, structural lung disease, prolonged ICU stay, mechanical ventilation) 34

36. Diagnosis • Clinical definition - A new or progressive infiltrate in a patient with fever, leukocytosis and tracheobronchial secretion • Mimics - CHF - Atelectasis - Pulmonary embolism - Drug reaction - Pulmonary hemorrhage - ARDS 35

37. Microbiologic Evaluation • Blood cultures • Sputum • Endotracheal aspirates • Fiberoptic bronchoscopy - Protected brush specimen - Bronchoalveolar lavage 36

38. Diagnosis • Purulent sputum • A significant respiratory pathogen predominating on gram stain • Peripheral leukocytosis • Fever • New or persistent infiltrate on chest x-ray, with a concurrent deterioration in gas exchange 37

39. Treatment • Adequacy of initial treatment crucial • Patients suspected of having HAP and particularly VAP should be treated with broad spectrum antibiotics aimed at covering all likely bacterial pathogens • Knowledge of local bacterial spectra and antimicrobial resistance patterns are essential in formulating initial coverage • Treatment then should be narrowed based on the results of microbiologic data • Usual duration of treatment is 10-14 days 38

40. Antibiotic Regimens:Core Coverage • Extended spectrum penicillins - Pipercillin / tazobactam - Ticarcillin / clavulanate • Third / fourth generation cephalosporins - Cefepime - Not ceftazidime • Fluroquinolones - Levafloxcin 39

41. Antibiotic Regimens:Late Onset Coverage • Common regimens include two of the following classes plus / minus Vancomyocin - Extended spectrum penicillins - Pipercillin / tazobactam - Ticarcillin / clavulanate - Third / Fourth generation cephalosporins - Cefepime - Not ceftazidime - Fluroquinolones - Levafloxcin - Ciprofloxcin - Aminiglycosides - Imipenem-cilastin - Aztreonam 40

42. Antibiotic Regimens: Coverage For Patients With Risk Factors • Prolonged ICU stay, mechanical ventilation, structural lung disease - double coverage for pseudomonas plus / minus vancomyocin • Steroids therapy - macrolide • Witnessed aspiration, recent abdominal surgery - anerobic coverage - Clindamyocin - Metronidazole - Extended spectrum penicillins - Imipenem-cilastin 41
