The SOS AMS (Save Our Supply Antimicrobial Stewardship) podcast brings you brief evidence reviews on major infections that contribute significantly to antimicrobial use in clinical practice, all in under 30 minutes. We explore key topics like distinguishing infection from non-infectious mimickers, a microbiology and antibiotics primer, AECOPD, CAP, HAP, Cellulitis, UTIs, Intraabdominal infections, Sepsis NYD, and Bacteremia. Working through learning objectives, we review the pathophysiology of these conditions, best evidence in management, and apply principles learned to patient cases. Written by an ID AMS pharmacist, reviewed by ID AMS physicians, and co-hosted with an ER nurse, these podcasts bring a Canadian AMS perspective to commonly encountered infections.

This episode of the SOS AMS podcast focuses on the diagnosis and management of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). Our hosts discuss the pathogenesis, microbiology, and treatment of HAP, with a brief discussion of when we would empirically cover MRSA as opposed to just MSSA. They then apply the principles discussed to a patient case, going from differential diagnosis to management. Check out the clinical decision-making matrix for a summary of our top 3 differential diagnoses, as well as the relevant references at the provided hyperlinks.
The learning objectives for this podcast are as follows:
Rationalize antimicrobial selection for HAP using knowledge of the commonly implicated pathogens.
Discern when MRSA coverage may be needed empirically.
Recognize when oral stepdown may be appropriate.
Apply knowledge of HAP to diagnose and manage a patient with new onset respiratory symptoms in hospital.
