  2. Medical expert systems offer a way of sharing specialist expert knowledge with a wide audience. VisiRule offers a way to make that invaluable medical knowledge directly usable by people in the form of interactive expert systems applications.

  3. Evaluation and Treatment of Pneumonia • Empiric antibiotics for Pneumonia in the Emergency Department are complex. Fret not, the suspected Pneumonia Protocol is here to help.

  4. Does your patient have healthcare associated Pneumonia (HCAP)? If your patient uses healthcare often, then they have HCAP. The pneumonia-causing microbe is a drug-resistant one, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In such a case, admission becomes a must and you require multiple “big gun” antibiotics.

  5. Does your patient look fit enough for discharge? If your patient looks fit enough then they can go home. CURB-65 is one tool available to help you with the decision. The choice of antibiotic greatly depends on the macrolide-resistance patterns of Streptococcus pneumonia. In Cincinnati, the resistance is greater than 25%, so monotherapy with azithromycin turns out to be a poor choice. You can use high-dose amoxicillin or levofloxacin alone. Just how sick is your patient? • You need to ask yourself how sick your patients are. If your patient is too sick for discharge, you can use the same outpatient antimicrobials, but switch to the IV form. • If you want to know about other Emergency Medicine focused evaluation and treatment protocols, visit us today.
