Abstract
During this interactive enduring CME activity, Emergency Department specialists will
discuss common challenges of managing patients with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia
(CABP), including the integration of newer agents into the standard anti-infective
mix. Decisions made at this pivotal point of care can affect both patient outcomes
and hospital financial health. “Real-world” cases will be used to demonstrate strategies
for stratifying risk according to severity; recognizing risk factors for multidrug-resistant
CABP; discerning indications for hospital admission; and initiating early and appropriate
antibiotic treatment within the parameters of clinical guidelines, evolving performance
measures, and sound clinical judgment.
