Clinical Diagnosis
• Baseline prevalence of CAP in unselected pts with suspicion of CAP = 5%
• Review ArQcles (1997, 2003) – Typical symptoms disQnguish poorly between CAP and other respiratory illnesses
– Clinical signs limited value in ruling in or out CAP • Auscultory findings absent in 25% with CAP • Significant interobserver variability
– NO evidence to support use of History and Physical exam ALONE to include or exclude the diagnosis of CAP
• CXR required

CXR
• Long considered Gold Standard for CAP diagnosis
• Flaws – Interobserver variability
• Rates of agreement among radiologists: 80%
• EP Overdiagnosis – 2 studies showed 20% and 18.9% of EP diagnosed pneumonia read as Normal by radiologist
• EP underdiagnosis – 2 studies showed 0.35% and 3.1% of missed posiQve CXRs

CXR
• Comparison of CXR vs CT – One small study showed 30.8% of pneumonias seen on CT were missed on CXR
• ?should proceed to CT if high index of suspicion and normal or equivocal CXR – ?treat empirically for pneumonia – ?repeat CXR in 24-‐48 hrs

CURB CriQcisms
• Fails to take in account co-‐morbidiQes that may be destabilized with even mild CAP

Comparing PSI & CURB-‐65
• Unclear which is superior because no RCTs • When compared in same populaQon, PSI classified slightly more paQents with CAP in low-‐risk categories – May be bejer at avoiding unnecessary hospitalizaQon
• PSI less pracQcal as uses 20 variables • CURB easier to remember but not as extensively studied
• Commijee preferred CURB-‐65 – Ease of use – Designed to measure illness severity more than likelihood of mortality

Comparing PSI & CURB-‐65
• RetrospecQve chart review – PSI, CURB-‐65 & modified CRB-‐65 performed equally well for predicQng 30 d mortality in paQents > 65 yrs old with CAP

Blood Cultures
• Vast majority of studies have cast doubt on the clinical value of blood cultures – Significant +ve results

– No systemaQc reviews – No RCT assessing clinical impact of BC’s – Rosen’s: “RouQne blood cultures are of essenQally no value in nonimmunocompromised adults”

Sputum Gram Stain and Culture

ARDS
• Pathophysiology – Results from damage to region of alveolar-‐capillary gas exchange
– Increased permeability to plasma fluid and protein
– Mediated by proteases, oxygen radicals, interleukins, cytokines, TNF, complement factors
– Usually develops in pts who are already seriously ill in hospital

Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax Treatment Strategy:
ObservaQon • Pleural air is reabsorbed at about 1.25%-‐2% of involved hemithorax/day – If paQent suffers a 25% pneumothorax, will take 13-‐20 days to resolve (with no further leak)
– Supplemental O2 will increase resoluQon rate by 3-‐4 fold
• ACCP: Clinically stable paQents with small pneumothorax (<3cm apex to cupola) can be discharged home aver 3-‐6 hrs of observaQon and a repeat CXR which excludes progression, with follow-‐up in 12hrs to 2 days

Treatment Strategy: ObservaQon
• BTS: paQents with small (<2cm lung to chest wall) SP and without SOB can be discharged with early follow-‐up – no recommendaQon for observaQon in ED, repeat CXR
• CriQcisms: – Some SP’s are trivial in size but cause a lot of symptoms which only
resolve with evacuaQon of air – Very small risk of tension pneumothorax – Some observed paQents eventually need tube drainage because of
ongoing leak (5)

• ACCP: recommend for stable paQents with large SP (>3cm apex to cupola) should have small bore catheter (<14F) eg. pigtail catheter or 16F-‐22F chest tube and be hospitalized – “Reliable paQents who are unwilling to undergo hospitalizaQon may be discharged home from ED with small bore catheter ajached to Heimlich valve if the lung has reexpanded aver the removal of pleural air.
Follow-‐up should be arranged within 2 days (good consensus)”

Treatment Strategy: AspiraQon
• ProspecQve, randomized, pilot study of aspiraQon (16G IV needle) vs. chest tube in primary SP (6)
– 16/27 (59.3%) immediate success with aspiraQon, repeat aspiraQon in 6/11 but 0% successful.
• 9/11 had chest tubes-‐ all successful • 2/11 had immediate thoracoscopy • Report a 1 week intenQon to treat success rate of 25/27 (93%) of aspiraQon plus
chest tube – 21/33 (63.6%) ”immediate success” with chest tube (16-‐20F) which meant
tube out by 72 hrs • 1 week success rate 28/33 (85%)

Treatment Strategy: AspiraQon
• SystemaQc review in 2004 looked at 3 RCTs comparing simple aspiraQon and chest tube 12 – Evidence limited; sample size too small to make any firm conclusion – Couldn’t combine success rates because of differences in outcome
definiQons – Couldn’t pool pain scores – AspiraQon resulted in shorter hospitalizaQon, but hospitalizaQon
mandated with chest tube – Doesn’t address use of small bore (8-‐14F) catheters or outpaQent

CriQcal appraisal
• 3 RCT’s, fair quality • No significant difference between needle aspiraQon and tube thoracostomy – Immediate failure, 1 week failure – ComplicaQons – 1 yr recurrence
• Needle aspiraQon – Lower rates of hospitalizaQon and length of stay
• Conclusion – Needle aspiraQon at least as safe and effecQve – Benefit of fewer hospital admissions and shorter stay

Consensus?
• Small (<3cm apex to cupola) and AsymptomaQc first episode of PSP should be observed for several hours and discharged if stable
• A large (> 3cm) or symptomaQc first PSP should be treated with air evacuaQon: – Small catheter manual aspiraQon-‐once only OR – Small (14F) percutaneous catheter with Heimlich valve-‐ outpaQent OR water seal device –inpaQent 14

Consensus?
• Blurring of disQncQon between aspiraQon and chest catheter is making the debate moot: 15,16 – BTS guidelines also advocated in centres with experQse the use of
small bore catheter aspiraQon kits (8F seldinger) lev in place unQl re-‐expansion confirmed
– IV cannula (16 gauge) in inexperienced hands: • Frequently kinks • Difficult to keep sealed and in place while a f/u CXR is done • Doesn’t effecQvely exclude a persistent air leak • 40-‐50% require a second procedure ie tube thoracostomy
– If small bore catheter used as iniQal strategies, comes down to Qming of removal and choice of catheter

– Absorbed by visceral pleura (pulmonary capillaries)
– Increased producQon or decreased absorpQon will result in accumulaQon

Rapid Strep Tests
• No meta-‐analyses • 10 clinical trials • 7 guidelines • Insufficient sensiQvity to be used alone
• Swab technique may limit accuracy
• EP’s should be cauQous in their use of rapid strep tests and use in conjuncQon with clinical scores to increase diagnosQc accuracy

• Increased mucus viscosity and ciliary dysfuncQon
• Bacteria can be introduced through cough and nose blowing

• S. pneumonia • H. influenza • M. catarrhalis
– Chronic sinusiQs • Anaerobic • Strep species • S .aureus • Fungi
