ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Pneumonia is split into 3 diagnostic categories community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), health care-associated pneumonia, and ventilator-associated pneumonia. This classification scheme is driven not only by the location of infection onset but also by the predominant associated causal microorganisms. Pneumonia is diagnosed in over 1.5 million US emergency department visits annually (1.2% of all visits), and most pneumonia diagnosed by emergency physicians is CAP.
