Isn’t that enough to start Laura on antibiotics.

Merchak Case Challenge # 80 - August 2026 Isn’t that enough to start Laura on antibiotics. You are taking care of Laura. Laura was born at 27-week gestation and has been mechanically ventilated for 10 days. Over the past 24 hours, Laura developed increasing tachypnea with increasing oxygen requirements and higher ventilator settings. Chest radiograph demonstrates a new infiltrate in the right middle lobe. You are concerned that Laura is developing a ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). As you update her family, they ask you: Isn’t that enough to start her on antibiotics.
