FirstcallID - How to do an Infectious Diseases Consultation: Gram-negative Bacilli Bacteremia

Gram-negative bacteremia is one of the most common reasons for an Infectious Diseases consult — but the question is never just “Which antibiotic?”. In this teaching session, we walk through a structured approach to the initial consult, including: 🔹 Assessing systemic stability 🔹 Taking a focused history (symptoms, comorbidities, exposures) 🔹 Key elements of the physical exam (lines, drains, skin, abdomen, GU) 🔹 High-yield investigations (microbiology, bloodwork, imaging) 🔹 Defining the source and guiding therapy 🔹 When to consider resistant GNB coverage (ESBL, CRE, MDR Pseudomonas) This session highlights the consult framework you can use on call, with practical pearls for trainees and learners. 👤 Speaker: Paul E.
