Update regarding Aspiration Pneumonia treatment:
Anaerobic coverage no longer recommended UNLESS lung abscess or empyema is suspected.

Aerobic organisms are the main cause of aspiration pneumonia and not anaerobes due to the inhalation of oropharyngeal microbes, therefore we no longer Tx with clindamycin - we give Ceftriaxone plus Azithromycin

Hi highyieldguy, around 13:30 you're talking about lactate, but the screen went blank. Just wasn't sure if it was intentional. Thank you for the videos though!
