319.2.1.1 Aspiration Pneumonia
- Risk factors: stroke, dementia, intoxication, seizure, anesthesia
- Dependent lobes (RLL > LLL supine; RUL right side down)
- Polymicrobial (anaerobes + aerobes)
- Mendelson syndrome (acid; no routine abx)
319.2.1.2 Treatment
- Amoxicillin-clavulanate (outpatient)
- Pip-tazo / ampicillin-sulbactam (inpatient)
- Clindamycin alternative (penicillin allergy)
- Duration: 7-14 days CAP; 4-6 weeks abscess
319.2.1.3 Lung Abscess
- Cavity > 2 cm + air-fluid level + communication with airway
- Most common: aspiration + anaerobes
- Septic pulmonary embolism: S. aureus (endocarditis, IVDU)
- Necrotizing pneumonia: Klebsiella, S. aureus, Acinetobacter
319.2.1.4 Aspiration Lobe Distribution
- Supine: RLL, RUL (posterior), LUL (superior)
- Right side down: RUL
- Left side down: LUL (posterior), lingula
319.2.1.5 Specific Pathogens
- Klebsiella: alcoholic, currant jelly, upper lobe cavity
- S. aureus: post-flu, IVDU, septic embolism
- Anaerobes: foul sputum, alcoholic, aspiration
