3 Algorithm 1 - Diagnostic Approach and Management of HAP/VAP* HAP/ VAP Suspect 1. Fever 2. Leucocytosis 3. Purulent sputum AD ew or worsening infiltrates on Chest X-ray 1st 4 to 6 hours Blood C/S G/S & C/S of : Sputum or tracheal aspirate or pleural fluid Start empiric antibiotic therapy (See algorithm 2) 48 to 72 hours: Check cultures & assess clinical response (temperature, WBC, CXR, oxygenation, purulent sputum, hemodynamic changes & organ function) Clinical improvement at hrs? a. De-escalate antibiotic if possible b. Treat selected patients for 7-8 days and reassess Culture (+)? a. Adjust antibiotic therapy b. Search for: other pathogen, complications, other diagnoses or other sites of infection a. Search for: other pathogens, complication, other diagnoses, or other sites of infection b. Consider: referral to a specialist, FOB/ BAL, PSB *Hospital-acquired pneumonia/ventilator-associated pneumonia 134

4 Algorithm 2 - Empiric Treatment of Hospital - Acquired Pneumonia / VAP HAP/ VAP Is it a Late-onset? 5 days HIGH RISK HAP/VAP FOR MDRO* History of Antibiotic Intake? Low Risk HAP/VAP/HCAP for MDRO * MDRO - multi-drug resistant organism Learn to access drug info on your cellphone. Send PPD to 2600 for Globe/Smart/Sun users. 135

5 Recommended Empiric Antibiotic Therapy* for HAP/VAP with Low Risk for MDRO (early onset < days, no prior antibiotic intake) on-anti-pseudomonal ß-lactam Agent with or without anaerobic coverage on-anti-pseudomonal agent with anaerobic coverage IV Ampicilin-Sulbactam, Ertapenem on-anti-pseudo ß-lactam agent w/out anaerobic coverage IV Ceftriaxone If allergic to ß-lactam a. IV Levofloxacin, Moxifloxacin b. Clindamycin + Aztreonam / Aminoglycoside Recommended Empiric Antibiotic Therapy* for HAP/VAP with High Risk for MDRO (late onset 5 days, with or without prior intake early onset with prior antibiotic intake) Anti-Pseudomonal ß-lactam Agent with or without anaerobic coverage+/- Aminoglycoside or Anti-Pseudomonal Fluoroquinolone +/- Anti-MRSA agent Anti-Pseudomonal ß-lactam agent without anaerobic coverage Cefepime, Ceftazidime Anti-Pseudomonal ß-lactam agent with anaerobic coverage Cefoperazone-sulbactam, Ticarcillin-clavulanic acid, Piperacillin-Tazobactam, Imipenem-cilastatin, Meropenem Aminoglycoside Amikacin, Gentamycin, Tobramycin, etilmicin Anti-Pseudomononal Fluoroquinolones Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin Anti-MRSA agent Vancomycin, Linezolid, Tigecycline * Final choice of antibiotics is according to the hospitals' antibiogram, formulary and policy 136
