This lecture forms the third of a three-part series on pneumonia in ICU. It discusses the role of severity scoring in predicting admission to ICU, and the importance of detecting organ failure. It then turns to therapy, with specific focus on antimicrobial therapy and factors influencing the choice of empiric antibiotics. It then covers the refinement and modifications of antimicrobials in light of clinical picture and microbiology results. The role of adjuvant therapy is discussed, mostly focussing on corticosteroids before turning to mechanical ventilation and non-invasive respiratory support.
