  2. Think? INSIDE THE BOX OUTSIDE THE BOX Possible due to?NOT IN OUR HISTORY Dx: Pneumonia (but hospital acquired type in Hx) Gram(-) GIT ?Endotracheal Intubation, nasogastric tubing or enteral feeding ASPIRATION P.:Indwelling catheter Gram(+) nose,Skin ?Bacteria,Viral,Fungi COMMUNITY ACQUIRED P. Other organism 21%P.Aeroginosa,9%Enterobacter or 8%K.Pneumonia

  3. DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY “controversial” bec. We have to be certain what organism or PNEUMONIA is really present. LAB Dx: endotracheal aspiration, FOB fiberoptic bronchoscope, gram staining, BBS blinded bronchial sampling. Sensitivity of this test ave. 95%

  4. Empirical Antibiotic Tx for HAP • Have to understand the local patterns of anti-bacterial resistance. • If MRSA prevalent in the institution, Vancomycin should be included can also use Quinupristin-dalfopristin and linezolid. • KEY “broaden the spectrum of antibacterial treatment and continued lab testing” • DOC P.Aeruginosa = Carbencillin + Aminoglycoside

  5. STOP! DO NOT FORGET! • SEPSIS most often complication of HAP, so follow regimen for proper medication administration. • Electrolyte imbalance due to vomitting and diarrhea.
