    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)
