Severe community‐acquired pneumonia (sCAP) is a clinical entity to describe ICU-admitted patients with community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP) as they might require organ support, and it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. While European and non‐European guidelines are available for CAP, there are no specific guidelines for sCAP. Therefore, a team of experts have joined efforts to prepare a summary document to guide the most effective treatments and management strategies for adult patients with sCAP. Listen to the following podcast to learn more about these guidelines produced by the European Respiratory Society (ERS), the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM), the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID), and the Latin American Thoracic Association (ALAT).Original paper: ERS/ESICM/ESCMID/ALAT guidelines for the management of severe community-acquired pneumoniaSpeakersIgnacio MARTIN-LOECHES.

Show Notes: https://eddyjoemd.com/hydrocortisone-cap/ In this episode of the podcast, I discuss a new study that found that hydrocortisone can save lives in patients with severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). I discuss the findings and what they mean for the treatment of CAP. In addition I also discuss the risks and benefits of using hydrocortisone, and who should be considered for treatment. CAP is a common and potentially life-threatening infection of the lungs. It is caused by bacteria that are inhaled into the lungs, and it can affect people of all ages. The most common symptoms of CAP are fever, cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain. In severe cases, CAP can lead to pneumonia, sepsis, and death. The study that we discuss in this episode was a randomized controlled trial that looked at the effect of hydrocortisone on mortality in patients with severe CAP. The study found that patients who received hydrocortisone were less likely to die than those who did not receive hydrocortisone. This finding is significant because it suggests that hydrocortisone may be a life-saving treatment for patients with severe CAP. We hope that you find this episode of the podcast informative and helpful. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.

Onsite training was provided during the implementation period and continued with telehealth support for the intervention phase from a multi-disciplinary research team from the Queensland Statewide Antimicrobial Stewardship Program and the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program based at the Queensland Children's Hospital. Clinicians could tailor the tools to their practice setting and patient's requirements, which is more realistic of a real-world situation. In addition, the uptake of the intervention materials was supported by onsite paediatric clinical champions at each facility.
