Healthcare-Associated Pneumonia in the Emergency Department
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2009Emergency medicine clinicians frequently diagnose and treat patients with pneumonia. The recent recognition of healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) mandates that emergency medicine clinicians remain current and able to distinguish this from community-acquired pneumonia. This article reviews the diagnosis and management of HCAP from the perspective of

Epidemiology of Healthcare-Associated Pneumonia (HCAP)
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2009Healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) represents a distinct syndrome, separate from both community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and nosocomial pneumonia. Although patients with HCAP present from the community, the epidemiology and bacteriology of HCAP belie the community label.

Diagnostic Strategies for Healthcare-Associated Pneumonia
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2009The first point of a good diagnostic strategy for healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) is correct classification of patients with specific criteria, as suggested by the last American Thoracic Society/ Infectious Diseases Society of America (ATS/IDSA) guidelines.

Healthcare-associated pneumonia: Diagnostic criteria and distinction from community-acquired pneumonia [PDF]
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2011 Traditionally, pneumonia developing in patients who receive healthcare services in the outpatient environment has been classified as community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). However, recent investigations suggest that this type of infection, known as healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP), is distinct from CAP in terms of its epidemiology, etiology, and ...

Healthcare-Associated Pneumonia: Approach to Management
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2011Healthcare-associated pneumonia patients have worse outcomes and a different microbiologic profile than those with community-acquired pneumonia, including a greater risk for multidrug-resistant (MDR) organism infection. Risks include hospitalization for 2 or more days within 90 days, presentation from a nursing home or long-term care facility ...

Healthcare-associated pneumonia: the state of evidence to date
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2011As evidence about the importance of correct choice of empiric therapy in the setting of pneumonia accumulates, balancing antibiotic spectrum against the risk of selecting for resistant organisms gains importance. Healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) defines a set of risk factors to underscore the probability of a resistant etiologic pathogen ...

Surveillance cultures in healthcare-associated pneumonia
Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2014This review explores the usefulness of surveillance cultures in healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP).The definition of HCAP is controversial. Causative micro-organisms of HCAP resemble those found in hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).

Prevention Strategies for Healthcare-Associated Pneumonia
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2009Healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) represents one of the largest subsets of patients with pneumonia. Based on epidemiological projections for the aging U.S. population, the number of hospitalizations for HCAP is expected to increase exponentially for the next several decades.

What Are the Important Risk Factors for Healthcare-Associated Pneumonia?
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2009Healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP) is a category of nosocomial pneumonia defined by the 2005 American Thoracic Society/Infectious Diseases Society of America (ATS/IDSA) guidelines to include any patient who has been hospitalized in an acute care hospital for 2 or more days within the past 90 days; residents of a nursing home or long-term care ...

Radiographic evaluation of nursing‐ and healthcare‐associated pneumonia
Geriatrics & Gerontology International, 2015AimRadiographic testing has an important role in the diagnosis and evaluation of pneumonia. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the usefulness of computed tomography (CT), in comparison with chest roentography (CR), in the diagnosis and evaluation of nursing‐ and healthcare‐associated pneumonia (NHCAP) .MethodsThe utility of CT in the ...
