IBCC Episode 4 - Community Onset Pneumonia | The Internet Book of Critical Care Podcast

In this IBCC podcast episode, Adam Thomas and Josh Farkas discuss community-onset pneumonia, covering definitions, diagnostic strategies, advanced testing, and treatment options. They address the outdated HCAP classification, emphasizing the importance of considering individual risk factors for resistant organisms. The discussion includes diagnostic approaches, appropriate testing, and the significance of imaging patterns. The hosts delve into triaging patients for ICU admission, antibiotic treatment strategies (including atypical, beta-lactam, and MRSA coverage), non-antibiotic therapies, managing treatment failures, and determining the duration of treatment. The podcast concludes with a checklist for managing pneumonia patients and key pitfalls to avoid, emphasizing atypical coverage, selective vancomycin use, and advanced triage methods.
