DTPs

1) DL may be at risk of experiencing unresolved PNA infection secondary to a potentially inadequate duration of antibiotics (7 days), and would benefit from a reassessment of her antibiotic therapy. 2) DL is at risk of adverse effects of broad-spectrum antibiotics (=MDR, C. difficile infection) secondary to receiving broad- spectrum treatment with ceftriaxone and vancomycin, and would benefit from a reassessment of her antibiotic therapy.

slide-10
SLIDE 10

Goals of therapy for DL

  • Eradicate infection: achieve clinical cure
  • Prevent infection relapse
  • Prevent complications of infection (e.g.

septicemia)

  • Minimize ADR of therapies
  • Improve quality of life
  • Prevent mortality

Pneumonia pathophysiology1,2

11

Depends on amount and virulence of microorganisms in the lower respiratory tract and the host response Routes of bacterial entry into trachea 1) Microaspiration of

  • ropharyngeal pathogens

2) Leakage of bacteria around ETT cuff 3) Inhalation of pathogens from aerosols and direct inoculation 4) Hematogenous spread 1) Infected IV catheters 2) Bacterial translocation from GIT lumen

Pneumonia: diagnosis1

12

  • Radiologic infiltrate that is new or progressive AND
  • Clinical findings suggesting infection

– New onset of fever – Purulent sputum – Leukocytosis – Decline in oxygenation

  • DDx: CHF, atelectasis, pulmonary thromboembolism, pulmonary

drug reactions, pulmonary hemorrhage, or ARDS

HAP/VAP Duration of Therapy

2005 IDSA HAP/VAP Guidelines1

  • “Efforts should be made to shorten the duration of

therapy from the traditional 14 to 21 days to periods as short as 7 days, provided that the etiologic pathogen is not P. aeruginosa and that the patient has had a good clinical response with resolution of clinical features of infection”

HAP/VAP Duration of Therapy

Patients with HAP and VAP

  • “We recommend a 7-day course of antimicrobial therapy

rather than a longer duration”

  • “There exist situations in which a shorter or longer

duration of antibiotics may be indicated”

  • 401 pts, Randomized, DB (to day 8), parallel-group, non-inferiority, 51 France ICUs

Inclusion

  • ICU patients intubated and receiving ≥48 hours mechanical ventilation
  • >18 years
  • clinical suspicion of VAP
  • quantitative cultures
  • appropriate empiric antibiotic therapy targeted against the causative organism

Exclusion

  • Pregnancy
  • Enrolled in another trial
  • Little chance of survival (measured by a SAPS II score >65)
  • Neutropenic (leukocyte count <1000/µL or neutrophils <500/µL)
  • Concomitant AIDS
  • Immunosuppressant or long-term corticosteroid therapy (≥0.5mg/kg/d for >1 month)
  • Concomitant extra-pulmonary infection diagnosed between days 1-3 requiring <8

days antimicrobial treatment

  • Attending physician declined to use full life support
  • Early onset PNA (≤5 days ventilation) and did not receive antimicrobial Tx during 15

days pre-infection Intervention

  • 8 days of antibiotic therapy

Comparator

  • 15 days of antibiotic therapy

recurrence, and antibiotic-free days assessed 28 days after VAP onset

Bias and Limitations

Type of bias Risk Rationale Selection Bias Low

  • Central computerized randomization procedure

(Adequate sequence generation and allocation concealment) Performance Bias High

  • No attempts to blind were made after day 8

Detection Bias High

  • No attempts to blind were made after day 8

Attrition Bias Low

  • 0 patients lost to follow-up
  • 1 patient excluded due to consent withdrawal

Reporting Bias Unclear

  • No protocol available

35

Limitations

  • Unblinded
  • Large number of patients excluded from the study hurts

generalizability

  • Study was in only VAP patients
  • Only conducted in France
slide-36
SLIDE 36

Conclusion

Authors:

  • No advantage of prolonged antimicrobials (15 vs 8 days)

for ICU patients with microbiologically proven VAP

– Holds true for specific pathogens as well

  • Increased pneumonia recurrence with short vs long

therapy in pneumonia due to NF GNB (pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, stenotrophomonas)

Other Sources

Ethan et al 20085: “the duration of therapy for nonbacteremic MRSA should be based on clinical judgment; most investigators would provide a minimum of 14 days of therapy” The Sandford Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy 20166: “Duration of treatment: 2-3 weeks if just pneumonia”

37

slide-38
SLIDE 38

My Impression:

  • Large “weight” of the Cochrane Systematic Review is attributed to Chastre

et al 2003

  • Study has limitations

– Only late onset VAP patients – No early onset VAP patients, HAP, no antibiotics in 15 days pre-infection – No extra-pulmonary infections – Excluded all that had “inappropriate” empiric therapy to start

  • Unable to generalize
  • If patients fit this study population and are responding well, then a

shorter duration of therapy (≤8 days) is appropriate

  • If patients do not fit this study population

– Not enough provided by this study to determine which duration of therapy is appropriate 38

slide-39
SLIDE 39

My Impression

MRSA:

  • Treat for 14 days
  • 7 days of therapy if they fit VAP criteria and patient population in Chastre et al (late
  • nset, no previous abx in past 15 days, no extrapulmonary infections)

For infections with culture results isolating MSSA, strep pneumonia, lactose fermenting GNBs (e. coli, klebsiella):

  • 7 days

For non-lactose fermenting GNBs (pseudomonas, Acinetobacter):

  • 7 days may have increased recurrence

Decision: 1) Cefuroxime 250 mg po bid and doxycycline 100 mg po bid for a total duration of 14 days
