Chloromycetin

Kim Fredericksen, MD

The increased risk of bleeding complications has encouraged several experienced surgeons who perform joint arthroplasty to emphasize caution in the use of these anticoagulants treatment in spanish order 500mg chloromycetin with mastercard. We identified potential contributors to the observed decline including reduced operative time symptoms 9f diabetes best purchase for chloromycetin, reduced tourniquet time and potentially changes in the way that Has the incidence of deep vein warfarin was administered for thrombosis in patients prophylaxis medicine abuse cheap chloromycetin 500 mg fast delivery. Yes Studies have shown that during the first 10 days medicine 3604 pill order chloromycetin 500mg with mastercard, low molecular heparins started preoperatively or fondaparinux commenced postoperatively are preferred Thromboprophylaxis in total over the vitamin K antagonists permatex rust treatment generic chloromycetin 250 mg line. No No large trials of acceptable quality which specifically compared aspirin with placebo following total hip replacement were identified symptoms 3 weeks pregnant discount chloromycetin on line. Clinical practice guidelines, meta-analyses and one clinical trial assessed aspirin against placebo or other agents used in thrornboprophylaxis in major orthopaedic surgery, including elective total hip replacement. There is insufficient evidence to support the use of Role for Aspirin after Total Hip aspirin alone as thromboprophylaxis Chan 2006 Replacement Consistent once-daily dosing may Nutescu Tinzaparin: Considerations for facilitate self-administration of tinzaparin 2003 Use in Clinical Practice in the outpatient setting. We found no convincing evidence that starting prophylaxis preoperatively in major Optimal low-molecular-weight orthopaedic surgery is associated with a Zufferey heparin regimen in major better benefit-risk ratio than starting 2003 orthopaedic surgery postoperatively No Fondaparinux has shown efficacy in the prevention of venous thromboembolism in patients undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery. Largescale clinical trials of its potential efficacy in deep vein thrombosis and acute coronary syndromes are ongoing. Use of fondaparinux may be associated with an increased bleeding risk, and patients should be assessed individually to ensure that the possible benefits outweigh the risks. Routine use of fondaparinux as a replacement for low Fondaparinux: A New molecular-weight heparin is not Cheng 2002 Antithrombotic Agent recommended at this time. Systematic Review Conclusions Prophylaxis In patients who undergo hip or knee replacement and receive short-duration anticoagulant prophylaxis, symptomatic nonfatal venous thromboembolism will occur in about 1 of 32 patients and fatal pulmonary embolism will occur in about 1 of 1000 patients within 3 months of the surgery. Although the prevalence of asymptomatic deep vein thrombosis is more than 2-fold higher after knee Short-Duration Prophylaxis replacement than after hip replacement 7 Against Venous to 10 days after surgery, in the subsequent Thromboembolism 3 months, symptomatic venous Douketis After Total Hip or Knee thromboembolism is more likely to occur 2002 Replacement after hip replacement. No We find no convincing evidence that starting prophylaxis preoperatively is Preoperative or Postoperative associated with a lower incidence of Start venous thromboembolism than starting of Prophylaxis for Venous postoperatively. Perioperative regimens Thromboembolism may lower the risk of postoperative With Low-Molecular-Weight thrombosis, but if so, this positive effect is Strebel Heparin offset by an increase in postoperative 2002 in Elective Hip Surgery No significant difference was found for A Meta-Analysis of symptomatic pulmonary embolism, fatal Brookenthal Thromboembolic Prophylaxis pulmonary embolism, major hemorrhage, 2001 in Total Knee Arthroplasty or total mortality. No Among patients undergoing total hip or Extended duration prophylaxis knee replacement, extended-duration against venous prophylaxis significantly reduces the thromboembolism after total frequency of symptomatic venous hip or knee replacement: a thromboembolism. The reduction in risk is Eikelboom meta-analysis of the equivalent to about 20 symptomatic events 2001 randomised trials per 1000 patients treated. The aggregate findings Patients after Elective Hip support the need for extended outof Arthroplasty: A Systematic hospital prophylaxis in patients Hull 2001 Review undergoing hip arthroplasty surgery. Yes Timing of Initial the timing of initiating low-molecular Administration of Low weight heparin significantly influences Molecular-Weight Heparin antithrombotic effectiveness. The practice Prophylaxis Against Deep Vein of delayed initiation of low molecular Thrombosis in Patients weight heparin prophylaxis results in Following Elective Hip suboptimal antithrombotic effectiveness Hull 2001 Arthroplasty without a substantive safety advantage. Yes the best prophylactic agent in terms of both efficacy and safety was warfarin, followed by pneumatic compression, and the least effective and safe was low-dose heparin. Warfarin provided the lowest risk of both proximal deep venous thrombosis and symptomatic pulmonary embolism. However, there were no identifiable significant differences in the rates of fatal pulmonary embolism or death among the agents. Significant risks of minor and major bleeding complications were observed with greater frequency with A meta-analysis of certain prophylactic agents, particularly thromboembolic prophylaxis low-molecular-weight heparin (minor Freedman following elective total hip bleeding) and low-dose heparin (both 2000 arthroplasty major and minor bleeding). Yes Graduated compression stockings reduce the overall cross-sectional area of the limb, increase the linear velocity of venous flow, reduce venous wall distension and improve valvular function. Fifteen randomized controlled trials of graduated compression stockings alone were reviewed. Knee-length stockings stockings in the prevention of are as effective and should replace above venous knee stockings. Based on the efficacy and safety data reviewed, danaparoid should be considered one of the drugs of choice for the prevention of thromboembolic complications in patients undergoing orthopedic hip procedures and the drug of choice for the management of Danaparoid in the prevention any patient with heparin-induced Skoutakis of thromboembolic thrombocytopenia who requires 1997 complications anticoagulant therapy. Systematic Review Conclusions Prophylaxis Our study demonstrates that there is not enough evidence in the literature to conclude that any form of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis decreases the death rate after total hip replacement. For this reason guidelines which recommend their routine Murray Thromboprophylaxis and death use to prevent death after hip replacement 1996 after total hip replacement are not justified. No the results suggest that low-molecular weight heparin and compression stockings have the greatest relative efficacy in preventing venous thromboembolism A meta-analysis of methods to following total hip replacement. Low prevent venous molecular-weight heparin may be more Imperiale thromboembolism following effective, though at a small risk of 1994 total hip replacement clinically important bleeding. Yes Efficacy and Cost of Low Molecular-Weight Heparin Compared with Standard Low-molecular-weight heparin is more Heparin for the Prevention of effective and is at least as safe as standard Anderson Deep Vein Thrombosis after heparin for the prevention of deep vein 1993 Total Hip Arthroplasty thrombosis after total hip arthroplasty. Systematic Review Conclusions Prophylaxis Clinical studies performed throughout the world have shown that enoxaparin is superior or equivalent to other antithrombotic agents, including heparin, n preventing the formation of venous Enoxaparin: the low thromboembolism. In addition, enoxaparin molecular-weight heparin for appears to possess an equivalent or lower prevention of postoperative incidence of bleeding complications when Carter 1993 thromboembolic complications compared with heparin prophylaxis. No Multiple agents or combinations are effective prophylaxis for deep venous thrombosis, but none decreases the rate to zero, There was overlap in the 95% confidence intervals for the probability of deep venous thrombosis for various agents and especially for the probabilities for proximal thrombi. Many agents have not Prophylactic agents for venous been compared directly with each other, thrombosis in elective hip but low-molecular weight heparin Mohr 1993 surgery consistently performed well. Yes Low molecular weight heparins seem to have a higher benefit to risk ratio than unfractionated heparin in preventing perioperative thrombosis. However, it remains to be shown in a suitably powered clinical trial whether low molecular Low molecular weight heparin weight heparin reduces the risk of fatal Leizorovicz in prevention of perioperative pulmonary embolism compared with 1992 thrombosis heparin.

If oral medication cannot be taken during or after surgical intervention, consider administering a parenteral anticoagulant. Promptly evaluate any signs or symptoms of blood loss and consider the need for blood replacement. The terminal elimination half-life of rivaroxaban is 5 to 9 hours in healthy subjects aged 20 to 45 years. Because of high plasma protein binding, rivaroxaban is not dialyzable [see Clinical Pharmacology (12. There are limited clinical data in patients with CrCl 15 to <30 mL/min; therefore, observe closely and promptly evaluate any signs or symptoms of blood loss in these patients. The incidence of discontinuations for non-bleeding adverse events was similar in both treatment groups. Apparent homogeneity or heterogeneity among groups should not be over-interpreted. Although a patient may have had 2 or more events, the patient is counted only once in a category. Cases of pulmonary hemorrhage and pulmonary hemorrhage with bronchiectasis were observed. The estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. Maternal thromboembolic disease increases the risk for intrauterine growth restriction, placental abruption and early and late pregnancy loss. Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Based on the pharmacologic activity of Factor Xa inhibitors and the potential to cross the placenta, bleeding may occur at any site in the fetus and/or neonate. Post-marketing experience is currently insufficient to determine a rivaroxaban-associated risk for major birth defects or miscarriage. In an in vitro placenta perfusion model, unbound rivaroxaban was rapidly transferred across the human placenta. Fetal body weights decreased when pregnant rats were given oral doses of 120 mg/kg during the period of organogenesis. In rats, peripartal maternal bleeding and maternal and fetal death occurred at the rivaroxaban dose of 40 mg/kg (about 6 times maximum human exposure of the unbound drug at the human dose of 20 mg/day). Data Animal Data 14 Following a single oral administration of 3 mg/kg of radioactive [C]-rivaroxaban to lactating rats between Day 8 to 10 postpartum, the concentration of total radioactivity was determined in milk samples collected up to 32 hours post-dose. The estimated amount of radioactivity excreted with milk within 32 hours after administration was 2. The molecular formula of rivaroxaban is C19H18ClN3O5S and the molecular weight is 435. There is no clear understanding of the impact of hepatic impairment beyond this degree on the coagulation cascade and its relationship to efficacy and safety. The maximum concentrations (Cmax) of rivaroxaban appear 2 to 4 hours after tablet intake. The pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban were not affected by drugs altering gastric pH. Distribution Plasma protein binding of rivaroxaban in human plasma is approximately 92% to 95%, with albumin being the main binding component. The steady-state volume of distribution in healthy subjects is approximately 50 L. Metabolism 14 Approximately 51% of an orally administered [C]-rivaroxaban dose was recovered as inactive metabolites in urine (30%) and feces (21%). Unchanged drug is excreted into urine, mainly via active tubular secretion and to a lesser extent via glomerular filtration (approximate 5:1 ratio). Specific Populations the effects of level of renal impairment, age, body weight, and level of hepatic impairment on the pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban are summarized in Figure 3. However, these differences in exposure are reduced when values are corrected for body weight. The systemic exposure to rivaroxaban administered 2 hours prior to a 4-hour hemodialysis session with a dialysate flow rate of 600 mL/min and a blood flow rate in the range of 320 to 400 mL/min is 47% higher compared to those with normal renal function. Compared to healthy subjects with normal liver function, significant increases in rivaroxaban exposure were observed in subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh B) (see Figure 3). The effects of coadministered drugs on the pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban exposure are summarized in Figure 4 [see Drug Interactions (7)]. Neither enoxaparin nor warfarin affected the pharmacokinetics of rivaroxaban (see Figure 4). Rivaroxaban was not mutagenic in bacteria (Ames-Test) or clastogenic in V79 Chinese hamster lung cells in vitro or in the mouse micronucleus test in vivo. No impairment of fertility was observed in male or female rats when given up to 200 mg/kg/day of rivaroxaban orally. Concomitant diseases of patients in this study included hypertension 91%, diabetes 40%, congestive heart failure 63%, and prior myocardial infarction 17%. Patients were enrolled in Eastern Europe (39%); North America (19%); Asia, Australia, and New Zealand (15%); Western Europe (15%); and Latin America (13%). Table 11 displays the overall results for the primary composite endpoint and its components. The 95% confidence limits that are shown do not take into account how many comparisons were made, nor do they reflect the effect of a particular factor after adjustment for all other factors. Patients who required thrombectomy, insertion of a caval filter, or use of a fibrinolytic agent and patients with creatinine clearance <30 mL/min, significant liver disease, or active bleeding were excluded from the studies. Aspirin was taken as on treatment concomitant antithrombotic medication by approximately 12% of patients in both treatment groups. In each study the conclusion of non-inferiority was based on the upper limit of the 95% confidence interval for the hazard ratio being less than 2. If the same patient had several events, the patient may have been counted for several components. Because the benefit-risk assessment favored the 10 mg dose versus aspirin compared to the 20 mg dose versus aspirin, only the data concerning the 10 mg dose is discussed below. Figure 9 is a plot of the time from randomization to the occurrence of the first primary efficacy endpoint event in the two treatment groups. The causes for hospitalization included heart failure, active cancer, acute ischemic stroke, acute infectious and inflammatory disease and acute respiratory insufficiency. Therefore, patients meeting these criteria were excluded from the following analyses presented below. Table 17 provides the efficacy results for the subgroup of patients not at a high risk of bleeding. Because the 5 mg dose alone was not superior to aspirin alone, only the data concerning the 2. The benefit was observed early with a constant treatment effect over the entire treatment period (see Table 18 and Figure 11). Department of Health and Human Services Over the last several decades we have seen dra Additionally, as in any area of medicine, gaps matic drops in the mortality rates from cardio still remain in our knowledge about how best vascular disease, the leading cause of death in to care for certain patient subpopulations, and this country. Leavitt failure to provide appropriate screening and Secretary of Health & Human Services preventive treatment to hospitalized, at-risk United States Public Health Service patients as a medical error, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has ranked the provision of such preventive treatment as one of the most important things that can be done to improve patient safety. Yet today the majority of individuals who could beneft from such proven services do not receive them. Too few health care professionals are aware of the evidence-based practices for identifying high-risk patients and providing preventive, diagnostic, or therapeutic services. Department of Health and Human Services As the acting Surgeon General, my primary into practice quickly and easily. The critical step consequences and numerous deaths in our for all stakeholders is to come together and country. Many of those who survive have complica effort to prevent and reduce the incidence of tions that have a serious and negative impact deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Without the joint efforts of all stakeholders, including clinicians I am encouraged by the participation of so many and families, the problem will only worsen as people and organizations in the May 2006 the population ages. The presentations and discussion that together we can take real steps to reduce the took place during those two days demonstrated burden of these diseases. The reward for this that we have made progress in our knowledge effort will be to prove the forecasters wrong. The workshop will see dramatic reductions in the incidence and highlighted the tremendous gap in understand prevalence of these conditions. In order to address that gap, we must disseminate information more widely about the availability of effective interventions to prevent Steven K. Without diseases is that their diagnosis is easy to over technological innovation, training opportuni look because the signs and symptoms are often ties, and committed investigators, progress will diffuse and diffcult to recognize. Up until now, need to develop a consensus on science-based levels of public awareness and knowledge about standards of care, especially for high-risk the risks of these diseases have been extremely groups. The clot(s) can cause symptoms that include: shortness of breath, partial or complete blocking of circulation in rapid heartbeat, sweating, and/or sharp chest the vein, which in some patients leads to pain, pain (especially during deep breathing). Some swelling, tenderness, discoloration, or redness of patients may cough up blood, while others the affected area, and skin that is warm to the may develop dangerously low blood pressure touch.

Ampicillin and gentamicin (or another General recommendations for specific conditions are as fol aminoglycoside) are preferred. S pneumoniae is an uncommon cause of men aeruginosa if these are frequent isolates. However, if the Gram stain shows gram cause of nosocomial bacteremia in patients with central cathe positive cocci suggesting S pneumoniae, substitution of vanco ters, particularly in units where cephalosporins are heavily mycin for ampicillin should be considered. Coagulase-negative staphylococci are commonly isolated cellulitis, S aureus including methicillin-resistant S aureus from patients with indwelling central catheters. Because Enterococ is often polymicrobial, and Enterococcus species, gram-negative cus species and coagulase-negative staphylococci commonly aerobes, and anaerobes may be causative. Clindamycin, ampicil cause fever without significant morbidity or mortality, initial lin, and an aminoglycoside or cefotaxime cover the most likely regimens without vancomycin are appropriate, with adjust organisms; early surgical intervention is indicated. If P aeruginosa or other resistant gram-negative rods are common, ceftazi Sepsis in an Infant dime or cefepime should be included in initial therapy. S pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis are most commonly Meningitis encountered in infants. Hib infection may occur in unim Bacterial meningitis in neonates is usually caused by infec munized children. A third-generation cephalosporin is tion with group B streptococci, E coli, other gram-negative appropriate. Prior to immunization with vaccines effec mon now because of widespread immunization. Increas tive against Hib, persistent bacteremia and complications ingly, S pneumoniae with multiple resistances to penicillin, including meningitis were seen in approximately 50% of cephalosporins, and other drugs is isolated. The optimal therapy of highly resistant S pneumoniae meningitis is not well established by clinical data. Nosocomial Sepsis Meningitis in a child with a ventriculoperitoneal shunt is Many bacterial pathogens can cause infection in hospitalized most commonly caused by coagulase-negative staphylococci, patients. Recent local experience is usually the best guide to many of which are methicillin-resistant, and Corynebacte etiologic diagnosis. For example, some intensive care units rium species, which are resistant to many antimicrobials. In experience frequent infections due to Enterobacter cloacae, many of these patients who are not seriously ill, therapy whereas in other units Klebsiella pneumoniae is the most should be postponed while awaiting the appropriate shunt common nosocomial isolate. However, in many communi E coli is the most common isolate from the urinary tract. In selected patients with pyelonephritis, outpatient therapy is effective using parenteral aminoglycosides or ceftriaxone once per day. For hospitalized Aminopenicillins patients with genitourinary tract infection and suspected bac Penicillin remains the drug of choice for streptococcal infec teremia, ampicillin and gentamicin or a third-generation tions, acute rheumatic fever prophylaxis, syphilis, oral anaero cephalosporin is appropriate. Gram stain should be used to bic infections, dental infections, N meningitidis infection, lep guide the initial choice. For patients with known or suspected tospirosis, rat-bite fever, actinomycosis, and infections due to resistant organisms, such as P aeruginosa, or for patients with Clostridium and Bacillus species. For oral therapy of minor urosepsis, an aminoglycoside and ceftazidime, cefepime, or infections, amoxicillin or ampicillin is usually equivalent. Unit-specific data on typical bacte systemic therapy, aqueous penicillin G is preferable. For treat rial species and their patterns of susceptibility should guide the ment of streptococcal pharyngitis, some experts recommend a antimicrobial choice for nosocomial urinary tract infections. An alternative is separate prescriptions for children are frequently infected with S pneumoniae. The broader therapy for Eikenella corrodens and other mixed oral aerobes initial coverage is indicated because of the greater severity of and anaerobes. Vancomycin flora, in which mixed aerobic and anaerobic bacteria may be should be used in addition to a third-generation cephalosporin. Children aged 6 years and older frequently have infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, or S Penicillinase-Resistant Penicillins pneumoniae. Erythromycin, clarithromycin, or azithromycin S aureus is usually resistant to penicillin and amoxicillin owing is usually indicated for initial empiric therapy. Nafcillin, oxacillin, methicillin, and first and second-generation cephalosporins are stable to peni Skin & Soft Tissue Infections cillinase and are usually equivalent for intravenous therapy. Culture are occasionally considered in children with renal or liver and susceptibility testing of abscesses, cellulitis, and more seri failure. Often both S aureus and S pyogenes are suspected Children with cellulitis more commonly have infection with initially (eg, in cellulitis or postoperative wound infections). Children with small generation cephalosporins are efficacious for most streptococcal (< 5 cm) abscesses usually are effectively treated with incision infections, although penicillin remains the drug of choice. S orally for therapy of colitis due to Clostridium difficile, aureus infections range in severity from minor infections although it should not be used as the drug of first choice. Vancomycin use should be monitored Many strains reported as clindamycin-susceptible and eryth carefully in hospitals and their intensive care units. This not be used empirically when an infection is mild or when other inducible resistance to clindamycin may be detected in eryth antimicrobial agents are likely to be effective. Cost may times pruritus, and occasionally tachycardia and hypoten determine the choice between drugs. Diphenhydramine or hydrocortisone Anti-Pseudomonas Penicillins (or both) may also be used as premedication. Measurement of peak-and-trough serum vancomycin Ticarcillin, mezlocillin, and piperacillin are active intravenously concentrations is not necessary in most clinical situations, against streptococci, ampicillin-susceptible enterococci, H because the levels achieved with standard dosing are usually influenzae, gram-negative rods (including more resistant gram predictable and nontoxic. Measurement of serum concentra negative rods such as Enterobacter, Proteus, and Pseudomonas tions is helpful in patients with abnormal or unpredictable aeruginosa), and gram-negative anaerobes such as Bacteroides renal function; in those with altered volume of distribution, fragilis. P aeruginosa is inherently resistant to most antimicrobi as occurs in nephrotic syndrome or shock; and in those als, and high levels of these drugs are usually required. The receiving higher-dose therapy (eg, for meningitis or other combination of ticarcillin and an aminoglycoside is synergistic difficult-to-treat infections). For patients receiving antimi against P aeruginosa and many other enteric gram-negative crobials for weeks to months, weekly monitoring of clinical rods. Because of this unique mechanism, there is penicillin and therefore are usually very safe. The ticarcillin, and piperacillin contain large amounts of sodium, in-vitro development of resistance has also been uncommon. Gas nously and cephalexin orally are useful mainly for susceptible S trointestinal symptoms are the most commonly encountered aureus infection and urinary tract infection due to susceptible side effect. Second-generation cephalosporins, such as cefuroxime reported, and linezolid should therefore be used with moni intravenously and cefprozil and cefuroxime orally, have some toring in patients at increased risk for these problems or in what reduced, but acceptable, activity against gram-positive patients receiving therapy for 2 weeks or longer. Third-generation cephalosporins have substantially less proven gram-positive pathogen that is known or strongly activity against gram-positive cocci, such as S aureus, but suspected to be resistant to other available agents. Cefepime is a new antimicrobial often described as Quinupristin and dalfopristin are two antimicrobials of the fourth-generation because of its broad activity against gram streptogramin class, which individually are bacteriostatic, positive and gram-negative organisms, including P aeruginosa. These Cefepime is stable to lactamase degradation and is a poor drugs are combined in a fixed ratio of 70:30, known as inducer of lactamase. Streptogramins inhibit protein synthesis by bind organisms resistant to other drugs. Immediate hypersensitivity reactions, including strains from E faecium is important prior to initiating therapy. Nonetheless, therapy has been initiated under a com likely due to the underlying infection or nonallergic reac passionate release program in some pediatric patients seriously tions. Other significant side effects include elevated Resistance to cephalosporins is common among aerobic bilirubin and inflammation at intravenous sites. Carbapenems, fluoro tions, or infections due to proven gram-positive cocci that are quinolones, or combinations including these drugs are used resistant to other agents. Many of these drugs are similar in antibacterial spectrum and side effects and may have similar Aztreonam is the only monobactam antimicrobial agent names. Clinicians should learn well the properties of one or approved in the United States. Aztreonam has pyloric stenosis in newborns, so azithromycin is preferred in activity against H influenzae and M catarrhalis, including most neonates. Most patients with Erythromycin is available in many formulations, includ allergy to penicillin or cephalosporins are not sensitized to ing the base, estolate, ethyl succinate, and stearate. Transient aztreonam, except that children with prior reactions to hepatic toxicity occurs in adults, but is much less common in ceftazidime may have reactions to aztreonam because aztre children. Erythromycin base and stearate should be taken onam and ceftazidime have a common side chain. These agents Meropenem, ertapenem, and imipenem are broad-spectrum are useful in children who cannot tolerate erythromycin. Azithromycin has a prolonged ems are also active against S pneumoniae, including many tissue half-life that achieves a prolonged antimicrobial effect. Car Azithromycin is dosed once daily for 5 days, but must be taken bapenems have been used successfully to treat meningitis 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals because food interferes and may be considered if vancomycin is not tolerated. Although azithromycin is active against H increased frequency of seizures is encountered when central influenzae, some authors report poor eradication of H influen nervous system infections are treated with carbapenems. Because carbapenems are active third-generation cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones. Cla against so many species of bacteria, there is a strong tempta rithromycin is effective against Lyme disease, but 7 days of tion to use them as single-drug empiric therapy. Erythromycin was once the most commonly used macrolide Clarithromycin and azithromycin are considerably more antimicrobial agent but now azithromycin and clarithromy expensive than most erythromycin formulations, which for cin are often preferred because of decreased side effects. Erythromycin is used of resistance to macrolides and azalides have been encoun for outpatient therapy of streptococcal and staphylococcal tered in some communities. More serious for respiratory infections and acute otitis media has contrib infections due to streptococci and staphylococci are usually uted to selection of resistant strains. This limits the ability of macrolide antimicro pyogenes, other streptococcal species except enterococci, and bials for therapy of otitis media and sinusitis. Interactions with theophylline, mycin or metronidazole is frequently combined with other carbamazepine, terfenadine, cycloserine, and other drugs antimicrobials for empiric therapy of suspected anaerobic or may require dosage modifications of erythromycin and mixed anaerobic and aerobic infections. Significant interactions with azithromycin clindamycin is justified in suspected anaerobic infections are less common.

Appendix C outlines some of the costs associated with common classes of antihypertensive therapy and provides information on some programs available to assist clients with prescription costs. Nursing Management of Hypertension Best Practice Guideline this guideline highlights a key nursing role in detection, assessment and development of a treatment plan for clients with hypertension. The lifestyle risk factors contributing to hypertension are identified and recommendations about key assessment and management strategies are included. Information regarding the types of pharmacological treatment is outlined to serve as direction for practice, and to assist in the education of the client and family. Client adherence assessment tools are included, and interventional strategies and behavioural tools that promote adherence are outlined. The following are selected theoretical frameworks that nurses can use to facilitate behaviour change and to promote adherence in clients with hypertension. Stages of Change (Transtheoretical) Model the transtheoretical model (Prochaska & DiClemente, 1983; Prochaska & Velicer, 1997; Prochaska et al. Most patients at one time or another make unintentional errors in taking their medication because of forgetfulness or misunderstanding of instructions. The decisional balance consists of identifying the pros and cons of the proposed/actual behaviour change. Conversely, the cons/risks of the health behaviour change are high initially then gradually decrease and are the lowest at the maintenance stage. The perceived benefits of changing behaviour begin to outweigh the perceived risks in the preparation stage. Clients develop their perception of treatment based on their implicit model of their illness, as well as their appraisal of the effect of the treatment relative to their expectations/prior experiences. Clientsmodel of illness comprises beliefs about the etiology, perception of the symptoms, likely duration, and personal consequences. The necessity-concerns construct offers a method for conceptualizing the salient beliefs that need to be addressed. Patients should be provided with a clear rationale for the necessity of a particular treatment that is consonant with their own model of illness. Low self-efficacy results in avoiding changing behaviour, whereas, high self-efficacy promotes change in behaviour (Betz & Hackett, 1998). Bandura (1977) specified four sources of information through which self-efficacy expectations are learned and by which they can be modified. Self-Care/Self-management Model Self-care/self-management is situation and culture specific; involves the capacity to act and make choices; is influenced by knowledge, skills, values, motivation, locus of control and efficacy; and focuses on aspects of healthcare under the control of the individual. Interventions/Strategies for Change In addition to the models and theories discussed above, there are interventions that nurses can use to facilitate behaviour change in their clients. Appendix E provides details related to motivational interviewing, and examples of the application of these principles. These strategies are outlined in the practice recommendations related to promoting adherence. Detection and Diagnosis Nurses have an important role to play in the detection and diagnosis of hypertension. They also play an important role in the provision of education to their clients, which includes sharing blood pressure results with the client and other members of the healthcare team. As the largest group of healthcare professionals, nurses work with clients in a wide range of settings and are in a key position to facilitate early detection of elevated blood pressure. A specific interval for screening is not recommended, however it is suggested that checking a blood pressure in a normotensive client every 2 years and every year in the client with borderline blood pressure would be prudent (Sheridan, Pignone & Donahue, 2003). When the cuff is correctly sized, the bladder of the cuff should encircle 80 -100% of the arm. Utilizing a blood pressure cuff that is too small may lead to a significant overestimation of blood pressure. In contrast, use of a cuff that is too large leads to an underestimation of blood pressure. Regular calibration of aneroid and electronic blood pressure monitors is required in order to ensure that blood pressure measurements begin from a starting point of zero. Monitors can drift from a zero starting point due to use and over inflation, resulting in potentially inaccurate blood pressure readings. Monitors 28 Nursing Best Practice Guideline are manufactured with instructions for calibration, which should be utilized to develop a maintenance schedule and procedure. Table 2 provides a description of the appropriate technique for measuring blood pressure, and Figure 1 illustrates proper positioning of a blood pressure cuff. Table 1: Appropriate cuff sizing based on arm circumference Reproduced with permission. Arm circumference (cm) Size of cuff (cm) 18-26 9x18 (child) 26-33 12x23 (standard adult) 33-41 15x33 (large, obese) More than 41 18x36 (extra large, obese) Practice Point: the client should be seated comfortably for five minutes with the back supported and the upper arm bared without constrictive clothing. Although a mercury manometer may be preferable, a recently calibrated aneroid or a validated and recently calibrated electronic device can be used. Place the cuff so that the lower edge is 3 cm above the elbow crease and the bladder centered over the brachial artery. The client should be resting comfortably for 5 minutes in the seated position with back support. The arm should be bare and supported with the antecubital fossa at heart level, as a lower position will result in erroneously higher systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. At least two measurements should be taken in the same arm with the client in the same position. Blood pressure should also be assessed after 2 minutes of standing, and at times when clients report symptoms suggestive of postural hypotension. Supine blood pressure measurements may also be helpful in the assessment of elderly in those with diabetes. Increase the pressure rapidly to 30 mmHg above the level at which the radial pulse is extinguished (to exclude the possibility of a systolic auscultatory gap). Continue to auscultate at least 10 mmHg below phase V* to exclude a diastolic auscultatory gap. Place the bell or diaphragm of the stethoscope gently and steadily over the brachial artery. Open the control valve so that the rate of deflation of the cuff is approximately 2 mmHg per heart beat. A cuff deflation rate of 2 mmHg per beat is necessary for accurate systolic and diastolic estimation. Read the systolic level (the first appearance of a clear tapping sound [phase l*]). Record the blood pressure to the closest 2 mmHg on the manometer (or 1 mmHg on electronic devices) as well as the arm used and whether the client was supine, sitting or standing. The standing blood pressure is used to assess for postural hypotension, which if present, may modify the treatment. If Korotkoff* sounds persist as the level approaches 0 mmHg, then the point of muffling of the sound is used (phase lV*) to indicate the diastolic pressure. In the case of arrhythmia, additional readings may be required to estimate the average systolic and diastolic pressure. Leaving the cuff partially inflated for too long will fill the venous system and make the sounds difficult to hear. To avoid venous congestion, it is recommended that at least 1 minute should elapse between readings. Blood pressure should be taken at least once in both arms and if an arm has a consistently higher pressure, that arm should be clearly noted and subsequently used for blood pressure measurement and interpretation. Figure 1: Proper positioning of cuff for blood pressure assessment Reproduced with permission. Important Blood Pressure Definitions: Blood Pressure: measure of the pressure or force of the blood against the walls of the blood vessels. Blood pressure is the product of the amount of blood pumped by the heart each minute (cardiac output) and the degree of dilation or constriction of the arterioles (systemic vascular resistance). It is a complex variable involving mechanisms that influence cardiac output, systemic vascular resistance, and blood volume (Woods et al. Isolated Systolic Hypertension: As adults age, systolic blood pressure tends to rise, and diastolic tends to fall. When the systolic is 140, and the diastolic is <90, the individual is classified as having isolated systolic hypertension (Pickering et al. Target Organ Damage: subclinical vascular lesions and/or functional deterioration of the major target organs. The diagnosis of white coat hypertension can be determined through the use of ambulatory and/or self-home monitoring of blood pressure. The risk of future cardiovascular disease events is less in individuals with white coat hypertension than in those with higher than normal ambulatory blood pressures (Verdecchis et al, 2002). Previous Canadian recommendations outlined a process to diagnose hypertension that included up to 6 office visits over a 6-month period of time. This is in response to recent studies that indicated the benefits of early recognition and early treatment of hypertension in terms of reducing hypertension related complications. In summary, these recommendations state that: For clients with hypertensive urgencies/emergencies a diagnosis of hypertension can be made at an initial visit where hypertension is comprehensively assessed. Clients should be advised to purchase devices that are appropriate for the individual. Figure 3 provides details regarding points to consider when purchasing and using a self/home blood pressure monitor. Community-based Self Monitoring Devices Community-based self monitoring devices are available in many public locations, including grocery chains and pharmacies. Clients may ask nurses and other health professionals if these devices can be used for self measurement of blood pressure. At present, there are no published protocols or minimum standards for community-based evaluations of automated blood pressure measuring devices designed for community use (Lewis, Boyle, Magharious & Myers, 2002). Community-based automated devices are not recognized in the current diagnostic algorithm for hypertension nor are they included in the recommendations for self blood pressure monitoring. Further research is needed to validate these devices before they will be endorsed for diagnosis and monitoring of blood pressure in routine practice. Important points about measuring blood pressure at home: Clients should read the instructions that come with the monitor carefully. Inform clients of the following: No smoking or nicotine 15-30 minutes before taking blood pressure. Persons with diabetes, or clients having difficulty following a treatment plan, should check their blood pressure more frequently. This would require a visit to the clinic to have a blood pressure check using the home equipment and calibrated clinic equipment for the purposes of comparison. In an asymptomatic client, a blood pressure >200/130 mmHg is a medical emergency and the client should seek immediate medical attention. It takes an initial blood pressure reading while the clinician is present and then, when the client is alone, take five more measurements several minutes apart and averages them. Further research is needed to examine these automated devices in routine clinical practice. Table 3 describes the threshold for treatment and target blood pressure based on co-existing medical conditions. Failure to reach target blood pressure may result in target organ damage, and increased morbidity and mortality.

This mainly presented with widening of alveolar septa and congestion and dilation of the pulmonary vessels. There was exudation of inflammatory cells and fluid from the pulmonary mesenchyme and alveolar spaces. PaO /FiO ratio also indicated a certain2 2 injury caused by hyperoxia to the respiratory function. Kawamura showed that continuous exposure of rats to 98% atmospheric oxygen for 60 hours would cause oxidative injury of the lungs. Another meta-analysis pointed out that critically ill patients after mechanical [25,26] ventilation with hyperoxia usually had poor outcome associated with the lungs. However, 9 whether short-term mechanical ventilation with hyperoxia will cause lung injury remains a topic not getting enough attention. Here, PaO /FiO ratio, W/D ratio and pathological scores of the lung tissues2 2 at 2 hours and 4 hours of mechanical ventilation with hyperoxia were much higher than those of the control group. Ferguson reported that PaO /FiO ratio was an accurate indicator of the oxygenation2 2 status of the organism under oxygen inhalation. A PaO /FiO ratio below 300mmHg usually indicates2 2 27] respiratory insufficiency[. It should be noted that the relation between PaO /FiO ratio and FiO2 2 2 is nonlinear, factors that influence PaO /FiO ratio are not only arise from the change of FiO, but also2 2 2 28] from the effect of intrapulmonary shunt affected by FiO [2. Therefore, using PaO /FiO alone to2 2 evaluate lung injury has certain limitations in our experiment. If it is above 4, pulmonary edema is usually indicated; and the higher the ratio, the more severity the pulmonary edema. In the present study, pulmonary edema was observed after mechanical ventilation with hyperoxia for 4 hours, which was accompanied by an increase in the pathological score of the lung tissues. This further indicated that short-term mechanical ventilation with hyperoxia would induce injury of the lung tissues in rats. This may be related to the fact that the intrapulmonary arteriovenous shunting caused by pulmonary edema affected PaO. This will further reduce alveolar surface tension and ensure alveolar integrity and its normal 34] biological role[. In the present study, after mechanical ventilation with hyperoxia for 4h, inhalation of hyperoxic gases led to alveolar injury of rats. Thus the vicious cycle began, aggravating pulmonary edema and promoting lung injury.

These protocols are not intended to be absolute treatment documents, rather, as principles and directives which are sufficiently flexible to accommodate the complexity of patient management. No protocol can be written to cover every situation that a provider may encounter, nor are protocols a substitute for good judgment and experience. Providers are expected to utilize their best clinical judgment and deliver care and procedures according to what is reasonable and prudent for specific situations. However, it will be expected that any deviations from protocol shall be documented and reviewed, according to regional procedure. Many processes are not sequential and tasks should be performed as most appropriate for patient care. Version 011619A 6 Pediatric Definition and Discussion the period of human development from childhood to adulthood is a continuum with the transition occurring during puberty. Since the completion of this transition is not sharply demarcated and varies among individuals, it is difficult to set a precise age when childhood ends and adulthood begins. It follows that use of such a definition to determine when a pediatric or an adult protocol is to be used is also problematic. Follow common sense, apply good clinical judgment, and follow regionally approved polices and protocols. Follow common sense, apply good clinical judgment, and follow regionally approved policies and procedures. Provide a brief pre-arrival report to receiving hospital in accordance with regional policy. He or she should be placed in the device and the device should be belted to an ambulance seat. However, this episode may be a sign of underlying serious illness or injury and further evaluation by medical staff is strongly recommended. In the setting of a known exposure to an allergen associated with shock, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and/or diarrhea, consider anaphylaxis in consult with medical control. Gentle nasal suctioning is the primary treatment along with oxygen, particularly in infants. This does not supersede device-specific practice guidelines provided through agency education. Unified Command is used to manage situations involving multiple jurisdictions, multiple agencies, or multiple situations. The specific issues of direction, provision of patient care, and the associated communication among responders must be integrated into each single or unified command structure and assigned to the appropriately trained personnel to carry out. Patient care takes place in many settings, some of which are hazardous or dangerous. The equipment and techniques used in these situations are the responsibility of locally designated, specially trained, and qualified personnel. Emergency incident scenes may be under the control of designated incident commanders who are not emergency medical care providers. These individuals are generally responsible for scene administration, safe entry to a scene, or decontamination of patients or responders.

Oxygen Supply Oxygen supply refers to an oxygen cylinder or wall unit that connects to an administration device to deliver oxygen to the patient. Nasal Cannula Traditionally, the nasal cannula Figure 1) is classified as a low-flow oxygen administration system designed to add oxygen to room air when the patient inspires. The ultimate inspired oxygen concentration is determined by the oxygen flow rate through the cannula and by how deeply and rapidly the patient breathes (minute ventilation), but the nasal cannula can provide up to 44% oxygen as inspired air mixes with room air. Increasing the oxygen flow by 1 L/min (starting with 1 L/min and limited to about 6 L/min) will increase the inspired oxygen concentration by approximately 4%. Recent years have seen the advent of high-flow nasal cannula systems, which allow for flow rates up to (and sometimes exceeding) 60 L/min. Note that the use of the nasal cannula requires that the patient have adequate spontaneous respiratory effort, airway protective mechanism, and tidal volume. A nasal cannula used for supplementary oxygen delivery in spontaneously breathing patients. It can supply up to 60% oxygen with flow rates of 6 to 10 L/min, but the final oxygen concentration is highly dependent on the fit of the mask (Table 1). Venturi Mask A Venturi mask enables a more reliable and controlled delivery of oxygen concentrations from 24% to 50% (Table 1). Delivered oxygen concentrations can be adjusted to 24%, 28%, 35%, and 40% by using a flow rate of 4 to 8 L/min and 40% to 50% by using a flow rate of 10 to 12 L/min. Use a pulse oximeter to titrate quickly to the preferred level of oxygen administration as long as peripheral perfusion is adequate and no shunting has occurred. Face Mask With the face mask below (figure 2) is a partial rebreathing mask that Oxygen Reservoir consists of a face mask with an attached oxygen reservoir bag. A nonrebreathing face mask with an oxygen reservoir provides up to 95% to 100% oxygen with flow rates of 10 to 15 L/min (Table 1).
