2. According to the film, the hospital should also combine the results of bacterial culture. Of course, sputum culture will take at least three days to produce results. While waiting for the results, the hospital can only choose drugs according to experience, and it should be no problem to keep oxygen.
I have reservations about the use of tuberculosis drugs. I don't know if the hospital should use drugs for diagnosis. According to your infection and symptoms and signs, if you suspect tuberculosis, you may also use anti-tuberculosis drugs, and there is no problem for the time being.
Your sputum culture turned out to be Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Did the doctor give you a bacterial drug sensitivity test? Routine use of antibiotics should be based on drug sensitivity results and patient's patient's patient's patient's patient's patient's sensitivity to which antibiotic to choose. The hospital chose Benergy, which is a powerful broad-spectrum antibiotic. According to the results of sputum culture, the levofloxacin you used before could not control the infection and the symptoms worsened. In addition, hospital infection must be considered. Benergy is mainly used for experiential treatment of patients with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli infection, mixed infection of severe aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, and serious infection of unknown pathogens. Meropenem, or Baneng, should be used in combination with other anti-Pseudomonas aeruginosa drugs in the treatment of severe Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. From this perspective, the doctor's choice of medicine should be correct.
Choosing a better medicine depends on the change of your condition. The doctor will arrange the next sputum culture for you and change the medicine in time. You should say "methylprednisolone". Use hormones. Obviously, the patient is very ill.
As far as the patient you mentioned is concerned, his general condition is very poor. If he were any older, there would be little hope of his survival. Forgive me for saying so.
It should be reminded that fungal infection is becoming more and more common now. I hope you can ask the doctor if the patient has fungal infection, such as Aspergillus, and do a G test. .
