How To Treat Pneumonia (The Most Common Mistakes)

Although this is one of the most common conditions we treat, there are a lot of nuances I find people still get wrong. This is my guide to how to treat pneumonia and how to avoid the common pitfalls with treatment and diagnosis. I also go over questions that you may frequently be asked on the wards. Hope this helps!

hi doc, oms2 here. thanks so much for the video. i have a feeling that i'll be back to review this video in 10 months when I start clinical rotations. your videos are so clear and easy to follow, and not many medical-related youtubers put out content regarding clinical management like you do. thanks for all the hard work, please keep the videos coming :)

My father is recently hospitalized for pneumonia that affected in the lungs caused severe fluid to collapsed. In his ultrasound report it says like this: The both costal phrencis angles lung showing a fluid collection central anechoic with lung collapse the measurement size in the right side is 8cm x12cm and the left side the size is 8cmx11 cm .
Impression:
Bilateral sever pleura effusion.
So Do you recommend an aged intubated patient with oxygen dependent to be done Thoracentesis procedure or Pneumothorax procedure bilateral on the chest to remove or drain fluid. I'm so warried about this and led me consult so many doctors just to collect ideas before is being done .
Your consultation is much need for my farther and could be life saving.
I wish u reply to me as soon as possible. Thanks

Great video as always. An interesting note that I learned recently is if you suspect MRSA PNA that Linezolid may be a better choice than Vanco as it has better coverage against toxigenic strains of Staph which can cause necrotizing pneumonia.

[@ConanLiuMD]

Thank you for that pearl!

[@fionamoola7889]

Thank you! should you avoid physical activity and exercise during pneumonia?

[@enigmaticfool]

Looking forward to the procal video. I’m a big fan of using procal to help DC abx

[@SamirKamat]

Can you publish your anki decks? It would be incredibly helpful for residency.

[@dgk02]

Would also LOVE his decks. Did he get back to you?

[@samirkamat2601]

@ Dr. Liu can you please share your cards

[@coreanumerouno]

HI SUPPY

[@keamiyahwalker523]

In hospital patients with underlying respiratory disease such as COPD and experiencing COPD exacerbation, would you go a head an give steroids then?

[@ConanLiuMD]

Yes! If wheezing definitely warranted. There’s even some data supporting steroid use in severe community acquired pneumonia by itself too

[@maxthefax13]

What anki deck do you use?

[@ConanLiuMD]

My own cards!

[@tarek6359]

8:07 can a "severe CAP" present like a very mild pneumonia with dyspnea as only symptom IN a patient with CKD stage 5 and on dialysis. Would that warrant a bloodculture, leggionella/pneumophilia urine antigens and legionella sputum culture?
Because in this example he would have very bad immunity. I have a feeling that when someone has bad immunity they wont have strong symptoms(?).
Thank you

Does receiving IV Abx within 90 days of presentation alter treatment/ABx choice?

[@jankicheese]

excellent video, thanks

[@nha8909]

Hi doc I really enjoyed how simple and updated this video is !! I do have a question that I was pimped on as a student and I still do not know the answer my attending wanted it. How do we differentiate between viral and bacterial pneumonia in clinically (without any testing or workup) I have tried every answer & did not succeed lmao.. any ideas? I'm still curious

[@HappyEarlyBirthday]

Great video Dr. Liu

[@ConanLiuMD]

[@areufkingkiddingme]
