Study Notes
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
- A common cause of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)
- Treated with antibiotics, including:
- Piperacillin/tazobactam (4.5g IV every 6 hours)
- Gentamicin (5-7 mg/kg IV, once daily)
- Ciprofloxacin or Levofloxacin (750mg IV daily)
Aspiration Pneumonia
- Occurs when foreign material, such as stomach contents, enters the lungs
- Risk factors include:
- Drug overdose
- Alcohol overdose
- Low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS <8)
- Seizures
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Treatment includes antibiotics, such as:
- Amoxicillin-clavulanate (Augmentin) (800mg/125mg every 2 hours)
- Clindamycin (600mg IV every 8 hours)
- Ampicillin-sulbactam (Unasyn)
Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
- A common cause of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP)
- Treatment options:
- Piperacillin/Tazobactam (4.5g IV every 6 hours)
- Gentamicin (5-7 mg/kg IV, once daily)
- Ciprofloxacin/Levofloxacin (750mg IV daily)
Aspiration Pneumonia
- Caused by factors like drug overdose, alcohol overdose, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score below 8, and seizures.
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is also a risk factor.
- Treatment options:
- Amoxicillin/clavulanate (Augmentin) 800mg/125mg, every 2 hours
- Clindamycin (600mg IV every 8 hours)
- Ampicillin/sulbactam (Unasyn)
