History

• 74 year-old woman presents with 4 days cough, chills, dyspnea and fever

• Hemoptysis with right sided pleuritic chest pain x2 days

• Unable to walk due to dyspnea– 35 pack year tobacco use– Assisted care facility– Recent hospital admission for complicated UTI

treated with levofloxacin

Page 3: Pulmonary Pearls

Physical Exam

• Respiratory distress • Temp 101.8 F• Heart Rate 110• Blood pressure 80/55 mm Hg• Dullness to percussion on right side with

crackles

Page 4: Pulmonary Pearls

Initial Tests

• ECG: Sinus Tachicardia with LVH• WBC: 18,600• Creatinine: 1.5, BUN 47• ABG

– pH 7.32 – PaCO2 = 47 mm Hg– PaO2 = 58 mm Hg on 4 L NC

Page 5: Pulmonary Pearls

ER Chest X-RAY

Page 6: Pulmonary Pearls

What is the most likely pathogen in this patient?

• S pneumoniae• H influenzae• S aureus• P aeroginosa• K pneumoniae• M tuberculosis• Other

Page 7: Pulmonary Pearls

Initial Treatment in the ER

• Right IJ central venous access• Fluid bolus 1 Liter 0.9% NS• Oxygen converted to 40% venturi mask• Bipap on the way• Albuterol / Atrovent neb treatments• Transduced CVP < 8 mm Hg after fluid bolus

and second 1 L 0.9% NS given

Page 8: Pulmonary Pearls

What antibiotic regimen would you prescribe in the ER?

• Beta Lactam • Respiratory quinolone• 3rd Generation Cephalosporin+macrolide• 3rd Generation Cephalosporin+ respirotory quinolone• Carbopenem+ aminoglycoside• Vancomycin+ respiratory quinolone• Vancomycin + extended spectrum penicillin +

aminoglycoside• Zyvox, Zosyn, levafloxacin• Other

Page 9: Pulmonary Pearls

Initial antibiotics given in the ER

• Ceftriaxone 2 gram and levafloxacin 750 mg

• Rationale: – Most likely diagnosis was thought to be CAP

(Strep pneumo + H influ)– Atypical pathogen coverage for legionella

Page 10: Pulmonary Pearls

Follow Up

• Urine legionella antigen negative• Sputum: gram + cocci in clusters 4+ which

later grew out MRSA• Blood Cultures: MRSA, PVL+ or CA-MRSA• Community Acquired MRSA

Page 11: Pulmonary Pearls

Community Acquired MRSA Sensitivity in this patient

• Oxacillin Resistant• Fluoroquinolone Intermediate• Macrolide Resistant• Cephalosporin Resistant• Vancomycin Sensitive• Clindamycin Sensitive• Linezolid Sensitive• Septra Sensitive

Page 12: Pulmonary Pearls

CA-MRSA Pneumonia

• MRSA is an increasing threat in all forms of pneumonia

• CA-MRSA is the newest threat to hospitalized patients with pneumonia

• “Superbug”– Enhanced antibiotic resistance– Higher mortality than MSSA strains– Expresses multiple virulence factors

Page 13: Pulmonary Pearls

CA-MRSA: 48 hours of destruction

Admission 48 hours later

Healthcare Acquired Pneumonia

• Empiric regimen– Vancomycin 1.5 gm IV– Zosyn 3.375-4.5 grams q6 or Fortaz 1.5 gm to

2 gm q8– Tobramycin 5 mg/kg once daily– Pharmacy to DOSE!– ID or Pulmonary to de-escalate therapy next

day.

59 yo with dyspnea and increased work of breathing

• ABG: pH = 7.27, PCO2= 56, PaO2 = 60• Pulse 125, RR = 32, BP= 120/80, Sat 90% RA• WBC 17K, BUN = 30, Creat 1.2• Conversational dyspnea but alert and oriented

• Where should this patient go?– ICU – Monitored Bed – Floor

• How should we manage the airway?

CXR

COPD Management Non-invasive ventilation

• Very useful in acute exacerbation especially with dynamic hyperinflation and muscle failure.

• Can be tried even in hypercapneic narcosis.

• Night time use for severe COPD with hypercapnia may be of benefit if tolerated.

Page 23: Pulmonary Pearls

• Non-invasive ventilation– Hypercapneic failure PCO2> 45 mg Hg

• BIPAP: Initial 10 IPAP/ 5 EPAP cm H2O with FIO2 bleed in to maintain sats at 90%, humidified

– Hypoxic and Hypercapneic ventilatory Failure• Bipap: Initial 10 IPAP /10 EPAP cm H2O with FiO2 Bleed

in to maintain sats at 90%, humidified

– Congestive Heart Failure• CPAP at 10 cm H2O with FIO2 Bleed in to maintain sats

at 90%, humidified

Page 24: Pulmonary Pearls

COPD Management

• For Acute Exacerbations– Injudicious administration 02 in CO2 retaining

pts may cause acute rise in PaCO2. • Loss of alveolar hypoxemic vasoconstriction

causes flooding of vasculature with alveolar CO2• NOT LIKELY “loss of hypoxemic drive.”

– Appears as such because sudden rise in PaCO2 causes narcosis.

• Titrate to 90% at all times

– Avoid respiratory depressants

ABG INDICATIONABG INDICATION

• Oxygenation

• Ventilation

• Acid-Base Status

• The most sensitive indicator of physiologic stress irrespective of etiology

Page 28: Pulmonary Pearls

Blood Gas Report(Blood Gas Report(ArterialArterial))

• pH (No Units) 7.35-7.45

• PaCO2 (mm Hg) 35-45

• PaO2 (mm Hg) 110 - 0.5(age)

• HCO3- (mmol/L): calc. 22-26

• B.E. (mmol/L) -2 to 2

• O2 saturation: calc. >90%

Page 29: Pulmonary Pearls

Changes in PO2 and PCO2 as oxygen moves from atmosphere to arterial blood

Page 30: Pulmonary Pearls

• Alveolar arterial O2 gradient– The difference in oxygen pressure

between alveolar air and arterial blood– INCREASE in alveolar / arterial pressure

gradient indicates either lung disease or a problem with oxygen transfer

– PAO2 calculated from Alveolar Air Equation

– PaO2 derived from a blood gas report

Page 31: Pulmonary Pearls

ANALYSIS OF OXYGENATIONANALYSIS OF OXYGENATION

• Alveolar Gas Equation– PAO2 = FIO2(PB - 47) - 1.2(PaCO2)

– PAO2 defines upper limit of PaO2

– FIO2 is 21% at all altitudes

– Factor 1.2 determined by RQ– Water vapor pressure = 47 mm Hg

– PAO2= 150 - 1.2(PaCO2) at room air

– PAO2 = 102

Page 32: Pulmonary Pearls

Alveolar-Arterial Oxygen DifferenceAlveolar-Arterial Oxygen Difference

• A-aDo2 = PAO2-PaO2(from ABG)

• Insight in the patients state of gas exchange– If elevated, defect in gas exchange

– Proper interpretation of the PaO2

Page 33: Pulmonary Pearls

Changes in PaO2 and PAO2 with age

• Max A-aDo2 = 2.5 + Age/5

• Hypoxemia PaO2 < 70 (relative)

Page 35: Pulmonary Pearls

Changes in P(A-a)O2 with FIO2

Page 36: Pulmonary Pearls

Causes of a low PaOCauses of a low PaO22

• P(B): Altitude

• Alveolar Hypoventilation(Nl A-a Do2)

• V/Q mismatch

• Shunt

• Diffusion Impairment

• Decreased mixed / central venous O2 content

Page 37: Pulmonary Pearls

A 73 yo is brought to the emergency room comatose. The family states she had become confused and had swallowed an excess number of sleeping pills. ABG while breathing room air (FIO2 = 0.21) shows the PaO2, is 42 mm Hg, the PaCO2, is 75 mm Hg, and the pH is 7.10. Why is her PaO2 reduced?

Page 38: Pulmonary Pearls

Alveolar Hypoventilation

• No increase in P(A-a)O2 gradient

• PAO2 = 150-1.2 (75) = 60

• A-a gradient = 60 – 42 = 18 Nl

• PaO2 +PCO2 = 120

Page 39: Pulmonary Pearls

Pulse OximetryPulse Oximetry

• Binding sites for O2 are heme groups

• OXYGEN SATURATION– % of all heme sites saturated with O2

• Measures the difference in the light absorbance characeteristics between Oxy Hb and Deoxy Hb

• SpO2 = Oxy Hb x 100 Oxy Hb + Deoxy Hb• ABG SaO2 is a calculated value from PaO2

ProblemProblem

• 28 yo pt with fevers,chills, SOB,cough– Taking Dapsone for PCP prophylaxis– ABG: PaO2 90, PaCO2 35.2, pH 7.43, SaO2 100%– Pulse oximeter 89%– PCP Pneumonia, started on Septra, Clinda, and

Prednisone– ABG: PaO2 378, PaCO2 of 35, pH 7.42, SaO2 100%– Pulse Oximeter 83%– Whats Happening?

Page 42: Pulmonary Pearls

MethemoglobinMethemoglobin

• Oxidation of Fe++ to Fe+++ state

• Met-Hb depresses the SpO2 reading

• Dapsone is an oxidant

• Met-Hb depresses the SpO2 to 80’s– Further increases in Met-Hb do not

depress SpO2

• Methylene Blue administration is Rx

Page 43: Pulmonary Pearls

Some drugs implicated in causing methemoglobinemia Generic name Use

Dapsone Skin protectant

Benzocaine Local anesthetic

Metoclopramide Gastric stasis

Nitroglycerin Angina

Phenazopyridine Urinary tract analgesic

Prilocaine Local anesthetic

Primaquine Malaria prophylaxis and treatment

Trimethoprim Urinary antibacterial

Amyl nitrite Rarely used clinically; often used by drug abusers

Co-oximetryCo-oximetry

• SpO2 = Oxy-Hb

Oxy-Hb+Deoxy-Hb+CO-Hb+Met-Hb

Page 45: Pulmonary Pearls

OximetryOximetry

• 54 yo WM with headaches, dyspnea and a Kerosene heater at home– ABG: PaO2 = 89, PaCO2 = 38, pH = 7.43– SaO2 from ABG= 98%– Pulse Oximetry = 98%– Whats the problem?

Page 46: Pulmonary Pearls

OximetryOximetry

• Carboxyhemoglobin: Hb +CO– Does not affect PaO2 or pulse oximetry– P.O. reads CO as oxyhemoglobin– Need co-oximetry if suspected

• Follow Up:– PaO2 = 79, PaCO2 = 31, SpO2 = 53%, pH

=7.36 – CO-Hb46%
