When I questioned the staff they stated that the Medical Chief of Respiratory Medicine informed them that “there are other ways to determine bacterial pneumonia other than a lab culture”. They further stated that they were told that they should just assign the code for bacterial pneumonia. It may be the staff nor is the Medical

If you find food‚ blood‚ vomitus‚ or other debris‚ suction the airway quickly to prevent aspiration. To better remove secretions‚ you may need to carefully logroll the patient to his side. Manually stabilize his neck and spine as you do so. If the patient can’t maintain a patent airway because of copious secretions‚ an impaired level of consciousness
