Study Notes
HFrEF Treatment
- In patients with HFrEF who develop enalapril-induced angioedema, the most appropriate therapy is sacubitril/valsartan or hydralazine/isosorbide dinitrate.
COPD Treatment
- In COPD treatment, chronic oral corticosteroids should be avoided.
- Chronic inhaled corticosteroids, tiotropium, and salmeterol are acceptable treatment options.
Meningitis Treatment
- The minimum duration of treatment for gram-negative meningitis is not specified, but it is typically longer than 7-10 days, and may extend up to 3-4 weeks depending on the clinical response and the pathogen involved.
