Overview
Diagnostic Algorithm
Shown below is an algorithm for the diagnostic approach of pneumonia.[1][2]
Abbreviations: HCAP: Healthcare-associated pneumonia; CAP: Community-acquired pneumonia
Physical Examination Findings:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Order Labs: ❑ Complete blood count (CBC) ❑ Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) ❑ Sputum gram stain ❑ Sputum culture ❑ Blood culture if necessary ❑ If suspecting atypical pneumonia obtain:
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
❑ Order a chest X-ray if the patient presents with any of the following:[3]
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Does the patient meets any of the following criteria for HCAP?[4]
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
YES | NO The patient has CAP | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Does the infection occurred ≥48 hours after admission and it was not present at admission? | Does the patient meets any of the Severity Criteria? Minor Criteria
Major criteria
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
YES | NO The patient has HCAP | YES Admit the patient and administer inpatient antibiotic regimen | NO Administer outpatient antibiotic regimen | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
