Pseudomonas aeruginosa Eradication and Outcomes: Key Questions

 

Our guest author is Christopher Oermann, MD, Director, Division of Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine at Children's Mercy Kansas City.

After participating in this activity, the participant will demonstrate the ability to:
  • Discuss potential antibiotic eradication treatment strategies for early Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.
  • Evaluate a proposed therapeutic approach to failed Pseudomonas eradication.
  • Summarize a management plan for patients who have recurrent Pseudomonas aeruginosa-positive respiratory cultures following failed eradication.
This discussion, offered as a downloadable audio file and companion transcript, covers the important topic of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Eradication. This program is a follow up to the Volume 6, Issue 9 eCysticFibrosis Review newsletter—Pseudomonas Eradcation and Outcomes: Key Questions.

Unlabeled/Unapproved Uses
Dr. Oermann has indicated that his presentation will reference the unlabeled or unapproved use of inhaled colistin, as well as the use of inhaled antibiotics specifically labeled for use in eradication protocols but not labeled for use in children less than 6 years of age.
