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.
肺炎分为 3 种诊断类别:社区获得性肺炎(CAP)、医疗保健相关性肺炎和呼吸机相关性肺炎。这种分类方案不仅取决于感染起始的位置,还取决于主要相关的致病微生物。每年有超过 150 万美国急诊就诊者(占所有就诊者的 1.2%)被诊断患有肺炎,而急诊医生诊断的大多数肺炎是 CAP。
