1
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,080
What's up everyone? 
Welcome back. 

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,560
It's Wednesday. 
I know we we missed one, but I 

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,760
am here. 
I'm back, the team is back and 

4
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:16,680
we are ready to rock. 
Today's going to be a lot of 

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,080
fun. 
How's it going, everyone? 

6
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,520
I see a lot of familiar faces. 
New course, old courses. 

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,320
Welcome back to a great lecture.
Today's going to be a lot of fun

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,360
because one, we're covering 
antibiotics, which I haven't 

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,360
done before, and not only are we
covering antibiotics, then we've

10
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,200
got trivia right after. 
So those that want to stick 

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,440
around for trivia, I'm going to 
let you know right now. 

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,720
Download Kahoot, download 
Kahoot. 

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,400
It's an app. 
Download Kahoot and you'll be 

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,920
able to just create a login real
quick. 

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,680
And then you'll be able to scan 
a barcode or put an enter a pin 

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,840
and you'll be able to compete 
for prizes. 

17
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:03,520
Today's lecture is going to be 
on again, on antibiotics. 

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,360
I'm going to get into that real 
quick. 

19
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,160
And then after that, we're going
to do the trivia, which is to 

20
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,160
get our neurons firing. 
You're going to see a lot of 

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,480
associations happening real 
quick. 

22
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,760
So, yeah, so real quick, let's 
get some announcements out of 

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,560
the way. 
So again, financial assistance 

24
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,160
letter, ask, ask, ask. 
I had no. 

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:28,000
Times are tough and I understand
groceries going up, gas is going

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,240
up, little things like milk are 
really, really expensive. 

27
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,080
So ask for financial assistance.
You'll be surprised how many 

28
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,280
people are still willing to help
you become a nurse. 

29
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,520
Tutoring. 
Our tutoring is still on 

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,440
special. 
I am sold out, so those of you 

31
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,400
that already have me as a tutor 
can continue with me. 

32
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,640
Those that don't, unfortunately 
I am sold out. 

33
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,240
Free resources. 
Look, I've put up more podcasts 

34
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,640
for putting up new YouTube 
videos. 

35
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,000
We've put, we're posting more. 
We've got a great social media 

36
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,160
team now that's going to be 
posting a lot of cool stuff. 

37
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,880
So keep a lookout for it and 
just make sure that you're 

38
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,120
following us on everything. 
Don't just follow it, subscribe 

39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,200
to it. 
So that way when I do put 

40
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,480
something up, whether you're 
just a student using all the 

41
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,160
free resources or you're 
actually a student that was in 

42
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,240
old courses or in the current 
course, make sure that you 

43
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,800
subscribe because sometimes I 
just throw up a podcast and you 

44
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,360
were like, oh, whoa, Doctor Z 
forgot to tell us about this. 

45
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:29,640
So again, make sure that you're 
following us on all the free 

46
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:31,160
resources. 
There's nothing better than 

47
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,920
free. 
So get your free education on 

48
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:38,000
self paid paced course. 
Our next course is not going to 

49
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,840
start till October 1st, October 
1st. 

50
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,960
We haven't finalized all the 
dates, but it does start October

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,120
1st. 
In the meantime, get started on 

52
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,520
the self-paced course. 
Those that are in the course. 

53
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,920
For those that have taken the on
demand self-paced course, put 

54
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:53,480
your honest feedback in the 
chat. 

55
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,600
Like if you like it, if you 
don't like it, just be honest. 

56
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,360
It's all I ask. 
Like yeah, it's not really worth

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,400
it or hey, I love it. 
Whatever you feel. 

58
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,680
Just honesty is all we care 
about. 

59
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,920
That is all our announcements 
for the most part. 

60
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:16,120
Then something really bothersome
happened and this really threw 

61
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,960
me off. 
We found a bunch of people that 

62
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,960
were sharing logins and that 
we're getting pirated and clicks

63
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,600
high yield videos a bunch. 
This is the letter that they are

64
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,800
going to receive. 
This is coming directly from my 

65
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:38,800
lawyers at NCLEX High Yield. 
They told us straightforward 

66
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,600
that they found people buying it
on Facebook, people buying it on

67
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,080
Etsy, people sharing it. 
They were able to track Cash 

68
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,840
App, Zelle, WhatsApp groups, 
Facebook groups. 

69
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,920
They were they were able to find
so many people and they were 

70
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,880
able to track all their emails. 
If you received this e-mail, I 

71
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,680
highly, I've been told you 
should find a lawyer. 

72
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,200
If you get this e-mail, you 
should find your own 

73
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,120
representation because they're 
coming after you hard. 

74
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,440
So if you know anybody that's 
doing it or you are guilty of 

75
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,560
it, then try to at least 
acknowledge it and come to some 

76
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,880
sort of an agreement like, hey, 
we're not going to do it anymore

77
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,000
and they'll be forgiving. 
But this is happening as we 

78
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,400
speak right now. 
So just that letter is going out

79
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,600
to everyone and you can take a 
screenshot of this if you want 

80
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:37,160
so you can read and share it. 
So just it's sad to me that 

81
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,960
people because they're getting 
reported, not only are they 

82
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,280
getting sued, they're getting 
reported to all 50 States and 

83
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:46,720
Canada, the boards. 
And right now ethics is huge, 

84
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:50,520
huge because of all the schools 
that are being run unethically. 

85
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,600
So please, please just don't do 
it. 

86
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,920
Don't do it. 
It's not worth your livelihood 

87
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,440
and your future. 
So I would just screenshot that.

88
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,440
If you know anybody that's doing
it or a group that does it, just

89
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,520
screenshot it and share it on 
there like, hey, look, I would 

90
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,720
stop doing this because they are
coming after everyone. 

91
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,080
So sorry about the bad news 
there not to be a Debbie Downer 

92
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,960
flash sale is still going on 299
if you want to do that on 

93
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,960
demand. 
So again, I I know all my 

94
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,680
loyalty. 
I know I got a lot of people 

95
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,320
that are loyal out there to end 
class high yield. 

96
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,560
All the high yielders are 
definitely loyal. 

97
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,440
And then we just been getting 
like, I'm not doing testimonials

98
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,320
anymore because I don't want to 
take up too much time in the 

99
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,840
beginning, but these are 
messages that I'm getting in the

100
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:36,200
last like, look, September 2nd, 
Monday, it's just Wednesday. 

101
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,960
These other ones came in today, 
85 and out, 85 and out, 85 and 

102
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,560
out. 
If you're doing something right.

103
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,720
And I see all like my, my 
students that are like keeping 

104
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,880
their camera on their 
participating, they're answering

105
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,480
questions. 
You're in the right place, 

106
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,560
you're in the right place. 
And if you're still struggling, 

107
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:59,080
think about think about all the 
sorry, think about all the money

108
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,800
that you're losing every time 
that you're spending another 

109
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,400
year, another year, another 
year, even 45 days. 

110
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,960
So just make an investment. 
Doesn't have to be with us. 

111
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,480
Just make an investment. 
All right, let's get started on 

112
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,360
farm. 
So the cool thing about farm in 

113
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,280
general, there's only five ways 
I can ask farm. 

114
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,440
I write questions. 
I know exactly the five ways 

115
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:34,240
that I'm going to ask you a farm
question and that it should give

116
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,160
you some ease. 
It should give you a Peace of 

117
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,160
Mind. 
Like, hey, look, if I see a 

118
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,360
drug, there's really only five 
ways that they can ask me this 

119
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,640
question. 
The first one is identification,

120
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,240
identify it, what type of a drug
is this and what is it used for?

121
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,120
The second thing is what are the
side effects of this drug? 

122
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,280
The third one is 
contraindications. 

123
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,960
If I take this drug, what can I 
not take or what should I not 

124
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:06,080
take? 
Dosages maybe, maybe like there 

125
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,840
are someones in EKG like 
adenosine, atropine, there are 

126
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,600
some that we do administration 
and we do do dosages. 

127
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,200
But for the most part, dosages 
are a little ambiguous unless 

128
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,080
there's a strict protocol. 
So it's like, well, how much 

129
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,200
atorvastatin should I start them
on? 

130
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,120
Well, it depends how bad was 
their cholesterol levels? 

131
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,200
How are their liver function 
tests, so on and so forth. 

132
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,840
So dosages aren't really super 
high yield. 

133
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,120
The ones that are know that. 
And the other one, the last way 

134
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,040
to ask it is just education what
I'm going to teach you about 

135
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,000
when it comes to medication. 
What am I going to educate you 

136
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,640
if I discharge you? 
What am I going to educate you 

137
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,040
about this medication when you 
consume it? 

138
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,520
So there's only five ways. 
Those of you that have the quick

139
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,320
tip book, it's in the quick tip 
book, which are back in stock 

140
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,000
and they're all shipped out. 
So I don't know if one of my 

141
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,600
students has a link to it, 
that'd be great because I am 

142
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:08,520
short staffed. 
So the this is the only ways 

143
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:15,200
that I can ask a farm question. 
And if I'm asking you about 

144
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:21,480
farm, then you should know you 
shouldn't memorize farm as an 

145
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,560
entire subject. 
You should look at farm system 

146
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,880
by system. 
Oh, this is a cardio drug. 

147
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,559
Oh, this is a renal drug. 
Oh, this is heart failure. 

148
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:37,240
Whatever the situation is, learn
it that way so you can associate

149
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,000
it. 
You can associate it with that 

150
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,080
specific, with that specific 
disease process, pathology, that

151
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:51,040
situation. 
So don't feel intimidated by 

152
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,720
farm. 
For the most part, farm is going

153
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:00,280
to have a rhyme in a rhythm to 
the suffix or the prefix of the 

154
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,160
actual drug. 
For instance, our Lol's or our 

155
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,400
cyclins as we're going to learn 
today, our cillins as we're 

156
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:11,160
going to learn today. 
There are ones that are not as 

157
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,280
straightforward, things like 
mental health, like SSR is. 

158
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,360
They don't have a complete 
rhyming rhythm to it. 

159
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,520
But again, you definitely want 
to make that association. 

160
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,480
For instance, in this quick tip,
I talked about statins, I talked

161
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,960
about Nafils. 
So those drugs have that suffix.

162
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,440
So know them, identify them, and
now you've made that 

163
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:39,640
association. 
So now we get into antibiotics. 

164
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:45,200
So the different classes of 
antibiotics are what I want you 

165
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,360
to understand. 
I'm going to go with the highest

166
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:55,040
yield to the lowest yield. 
And so when I talk about them, 

167
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,040
antibiotics are a little dry. 
They are a little dry, but I'm 

168
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,840
going to highlight what you 
should know, period. 

169
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,040
And then we are going to do 
practice questions before we get

170
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:12,480
into trivia today. 
So we're going to have a lot of 

171
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,560
great information. 
Those of you that joined today, 

172
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,120
you're in for a treat. 
You're really in for a treat. 

173
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,760
So the first class of drug, 
arguably the most popular drug 

174
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:22,840
that you're going to come 
across. 

175
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:29,640
Now, let me preface this, this 
lecture by saying that 

176
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:35,400
antibiotics are probably going 
to be the drug that you're going

177
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,520
to see the most. 
So think about that. 

178
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,880
I talk about statins, I talk 
about beta blockers, I talk 

179
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,320
about pills. 
I talk about all these drugs and

180
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,760
I'm like, look, they're commonly
prescribed. 

181
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,320
You should know them. 
What do you think is probably 

182
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,360
one of the most commonly 
prescribed drugs, period? 

183
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:02,640
Antibiotics, antibiotics, right?
So people are going to get sick,

184
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,320
kids get sick, we get sick. 
So knowing your antibiotics, 

185
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,240
whether you're taking them, 
prescribing them, or you're 

186
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,120
seeing and educating your 
patients on them, you should be 

187
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,280
familiar with them. 
And again, I'm going from the 

188
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,360
highest yield to the lowest 
yield. 

189
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,240
So our first one is penicillins.
So penicillin G, penicillin V, 

190
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,560
amoxicillin, ampicillin. 
Again, they all end in Sillin. 

191
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,680
So what are they going to cover?
Well, they're broad spectrum. 

192
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,520
They're kind of our they are our
first go to when a kid gets an 

193
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:38,240
ear infection, when we see a kid
with strep throat. 

194
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,480
So think about where we start in
Pediatrics. 

195
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,560
We always start with penicillin 
or amoxicillin. 

196
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,480
That little remember the pink 
bubble gum, the pink bubble gum 

197
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,520
flavored one that we put in the 
fridge, right? 

198
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,240
Everybody kind of remember that 
one. 

199
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,400
So that's where we start. 
We start with penicillin. 

200
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:05,360
But what we need to know, aside 
from the fact that it's a great 

201
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,600
broad spectrum antibiotic, is 
that we can develop allergic 

202
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,720
reactions. 
Now, when I was growing up, 

203
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,480
penicillin allergies, not 
allergies, egg allergies, they 

204
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,720
weren't a thing, OK. 
Nowadays, allergic reactions are

205
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,680
huge. 
They're huge so knowing that 

206
00:12:24,680 --> 00:12:28,360
penicillin does not only cause 
an allergic reaction, but they 

207
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:38,420
can cause an anaphylactic 
anaphylactic sorry if stomach 

208
00:12:38,420 --> 00:12:54,470
lops anaphylactic reaction. 
The fact that they can cause 

209
00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:57,790
anaphylaxis means that it's life
threatening. 

210
00:12:58,390 --> 00:13:04,720
Now, when we give a child its 
first dose of penicillin, any 

211
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,920
type of penicillin, right, what 
are we going to see? 

212
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,920
Are they going to like, is there
airway going to close up? 

213
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,640
Because that's what we're 
concerned about developing, 

214
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:13,400
right? 
Is there airway going to close 

215
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,920
up right away? 
Is that the first reaction 

216
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,840
that's going to happen? 
Not necessarily what's going to 

217
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:27,240
happen is welds or hives or 
itchy or swollen throat, but the

218
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,680
full blown anaphylaxis is when 
they have it a second time, when

219
00:13:32,680 --> 00:13:36,560
they're exposed to it again and 
the body releases all this 

220
00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:39,880
histamine and the body releases 
this allergic anaphylactic 

221
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,880
reaction because that is a 
deadly reaction. 

222
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,000
So penicillin, again, the first 
line that we give as an 

223
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:53,720
antibiotic and anaphylactics. 
So what are we looking for? 

224
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:58,880
What we're looking for here is 
that they develop not just a 

225
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,440
rash. 
A rash is not too indicative of 

226
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:08,320
anaphylaxis, but when we have 
like a swollen throat, itchy 

227
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:14,640
throat, welds, hives, now we're 
concerned it is metabolized by 

228
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,000
the kidneys. 
So we're concerned about kidney 

229
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,360
function, which means what lab 
values which you should know are

230
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:27,520
going to be part of the kidney 
BUN, creatinine, right? 

231
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:39,040
And then a history of seizures. 
Now we move on to the second 

232
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,520
most common one. 
And the reason why I put this as

233
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,120
the second most common tested 1 
tested one is because 

234
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:51,040
cephalosporins, they're also a 
great broad spectrum that can 

235
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,920
cover a lot of different bugs. 
So things like respiratory 

236
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,720
infections, you'll see, you'll 
see a skin infections. 

237
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:04,760
But the problem with this is, is
that it's got a cross reactivity

238
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:13,800
with penicillin, 10% cross 
reactivity, which means if 

239
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:19,600
you're allergic to penicillins, 
then am I going to take a one in

240
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,320
10 chance that you're going to 
be OK with Cephalosporin knowing

241
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,320
that you can have an 
anaphylactic reaction? 

242
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:31,520
Am I taking that chance? 
No, 10% is a lot. 1 in 10 people

243
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,680
can die. 
That's a high mortality rate in 

244
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,320
my opinion, right, 10%. 
So what are we going to do? 

245
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,680
We're going to educate. 
This is one of those questions 

246
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,080
that are great education, 
educate your patient that hey, 

247
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,560
oh, I'm the patient will say 
maybe a further teaching further

248
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,560
intervention for the education 
type of question. 

249
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,600
I'm not allergic to 
cephalosporins. 

250
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,280
I'm only allergic to 
penicillins. 

251
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,760
Actually, we're going to teach 
you that cephalosporins have 

252
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,000
cross reactivity. 
So if you're allergic to 

253
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,080
anaphylactically, allergic to 
penicillins, we do not want to 

254
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,480
give you any type of 
Cephalosporin. 

255
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,360
So again, in general with these 
two drugs, I want you to take 

256
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:20,040
away this. 
If I give you a medication, then

257
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,920
there is a chance that you're 
going to get some sort of GI 

258
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,080
distress. 
Sometimes our stomach can't 

259
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,880
handle it. 
And I always say with 

260
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,280
medication, not all the time, 
but a good majority of the time,

261
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,040
what's the first reaction that 
we're going to see? 

262
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,600
The first reaction will 
potentially see some sort of GI 

263
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,120
distress, some nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea. 

264
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:44,400
So Gigi issues, But again, 
nothing that I'm too, too 

265
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,120
concerned about more so we're 
worried about that. 

266
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:58,320
Anaphylaxis, anaphylaxis. 
All right, now we move on to 

267
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,560
macrolides. 
Macrolides erythromycin, 

268
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,960
azithromycin, clarithromycin. 
The two that you're going to see

269
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,480
a lot, you're going to see 
erythromycin and you're going to

270
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,319
see azithromycin. 
With azithromycin, the big one 

271
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:14,720
that I want you to know couple 
of one couple of things that I 

272
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,359
want you to know, Upper 
respiratory bronchitis, 

273
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,480
azithromycin, you're going to 
see azithromycin, also known as 

274
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,680
AZ pack azithromycin. 
You're also going to see it in 

275
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,320
sexually transmitted diseases. 
And we've had a surge of 

276
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,720
sexually transmitted diseases. 
So do you think identifying 

277
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,720
things like gonorrhea, 
chlamydia, syphilis is 

278
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,560
important? 
Well, syphilis, you've got 

279
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,800
penicillin, chlamydia, 
gonorrhea, we've got 

280
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,560
azithromycin. 
These are things that are 

281
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:50,840
surgery that are surging. 
So knowing St. is knowing the 

282
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:57,320
treatment for it and now knowing
this major side effects in this 

283
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,120
one, the one that the boards are
going to like to target is that 

284
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:11,000
QT prolongation. 
So just a quick little, little 

285
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:16,640
Segway into Ek GS. 
So we got our P wave and then we

286
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:21,640
got our QRST. 
The P wave is what part of the 

287
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,640
heart. 
P is what part of the heart. 

288
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:33,680
It is the atrium, which means 
that the QRST is what part of 

289
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,720
the heart when the ventricle 
contracts. 

290
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,920
So now if I've got QT 
prolongation, meaning this is 

291
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:52,960
getting longer and longer and 
it's getting longer and longer, 

292
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:59,600
what can happen to my ventricle?
If I've got QT prolongation, I 

293
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,560
can get a dysrhythmia. 
And that dysrhythmia that we're 

294
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,320
concerned about is part of 
asgraph, right? 

295
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:13,480
It is ventricular fibrillation. 
In this situation, we're worried

296
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,520
about the liver. 
So this is metabolized by the 

297
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,440
liver. 
So, oh, I have the history of 

298
00:19:22,360 --> 00:19:24,800
SVT superventricular 
tachycardia. 

299
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,240
I've had it a couple of times. 
Oh, OK, we are not giving you a 

300
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:35,200
macrolide. 
So again, very important to 

301
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,360
understand and identify these 
drugs. 

302
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:40,760
And then we'll get into some 
practice questions here shortly.

303
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,920
The next one is tetracyclines. 
So what's the mnemonic that I 

304
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:54,080
come up with with 
photosensitivity SAT for a 

305
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,160
photo, right. 
So what, what drugs are there? 

306
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,560
Sulfa drugs, which we're going 
to talk about as well too. 

307
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,160
Then we've got amiodarone, which
we talked about EKG's and now 

308
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,880
we've got tetracycline sat for a
photo, which means that one of 

309
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,400
the biggest side effects that 
we're concerned about is 

310
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,160
photosensitivity. 
So tetracycline, doxycycline 

311
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:21,680
minus cycline are going to be. 
Used in this situation, most 

312
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:28,280
commonly you'll see it in acne 
and acne we see a lot of 

313
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:33,480
doxycycline being prescribed. 
So now you're talking about, 

314
00:20:34,360 --> 00:20:40,800
you're talking about maybe 
anybody from PEDs patient to to 

315
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:45,400
an adult patient that's 
developed acne and now they've 

316
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,000
got this prescription for 
doxycycline. 

317
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,360
Well, depending on their age, 
we've got to be concerned about 

318
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,400
pregnancy because it is a 
tridogen. 

319
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,520
Then we've got to be worried 
about photosensitivity. 

320
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,920
Some other ones that the boards 
like that aren't necessarily 

321
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,120
something that's commonly seen 
is teeth discoloration, but they

322
00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:13,600
like it. 
So now we're talking about 

323
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:17,280
pregnancy photo sensitivity. 
So we educate them on what? 

324
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,400
Wearing long sleeve clothes, 
wearing a hat, not going out in 

325
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,560
the sun, avoiding the beach. 
We're worried about pregnancy. 

326
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,400
So what type of a question that 
I just come up with? 

327
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,480
I'm educating them. 
It's a select all that apply 

328
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,280
100%. 
That's exactly how I would ask 

329
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,520
it. 
And you know, if I say those 

330
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,920
words, chances are you're 
probably going to see it like 

331
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,880
that. 
So I'm going to educate them on 

332
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,840
photosensitivity, GI 
disturbances, teeth 

333
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,680
discoloration, pregnancy. 
Those are the ones that I'm 

334
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,000
going to look at the most. 
And that's the way I'm going to 

335
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,480
ask it. 
Or it's going to be a straight 

336
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,920
up freebie question. 
Patient, let's just say a 16 

337
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,040
year old patient. 
Oh, here's two questions. 

338
00:22:05,360 --> 00:22:07,440
OK, I'm making these up up the 
top of my head. 

339
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:09,960
Here's two questions that I 
would ask for tetracycline. 

340
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:15,280
So I write these down. 
A 16 year old female patient 

341
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,840
comes in prescribed with acne 
vulgaris. 

342
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,640
Which of the following drugs 
would be most appropriate? 

343
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,600
Which would be most appropriate 
for the acne? 

344
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,960
Straight up for a big question. 
And I'm probably going to put 

345
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,640
doxycycline in there. 
I'll probably throw azithromycin

346
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,960
in there. 
I'll probably put a penicillin. 

347
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,400
I'll put all these antibiotics 
in there and you're going to 

348
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,640
have to say it's a tetracycline 
that I'm going to use. 

349
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:49,520
That same patient, 16 year old 
female patient comes in and they

350
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,760
were, they were diagnosed with 
acne vulgaris. 

351
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,880
And now we're saying which of 
the following is the most 

352
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:02,560
appropriate action by the nurse?
Well, what if I threw asked them

353
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:07,160
when their last cycle was when 
getting a UPT or urine pregnancy

354
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,440
test? 
Yeah. 

355
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,960
Are they sexually active? 
If I put those into your answer 

356
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,800
choices, I put it there for a 
reason, not necessarily always 

357
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,080
the right one, but you better 
look at it a little bit closer. 

358
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:22,080
Why did I put that in your 
answer choices? 

359
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:27,360
So again, two questions that I 
would ask just like that. 

360
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,680
And I know they're not in the 
practice question, so I wanted 

361
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,360
to bring those up, but that's 
exactly how I would ask it. 

362
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,320
It is a tradogen. 
It is a tradogen. 

363
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,880
All right. 
Now the next ones are 

364
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,680
fluoroquinolones and you'll see 
these now prescribed a lot. 

365
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,520
They are commonly prescribed all
these. 

366
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,120
That's why I'm going in order 
ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin. 

367
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,600
I apologize that to squeeze them
in there and moxifloxacin, 

368
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,440
right? 
So Levaquin, Cipro, these are 

369
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,680
Avalox, these are the the brand 
names, but again, stick to the 

370
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,840
generics, but they all end in 
floxacin. 

371
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:18,800
They're really good for UTI's, 
respiratory infections and skin 

372
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,200
infections. 
Those are kind of the ones that 

373
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,960
I like that are going to be 
tested the most because when a 

374
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,760
patient comes in with a UTI, how
many people have seen 

375
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:33,400
ciprofloxacin being prescribed a
lot. 

376
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:39,160
Is it the first line, though? 
It's not the first line. 

377
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,040
That's where I'm going to get 
you. 

378
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,480
There's two things I'm going to 
test you on ciprofloxacin. 

379
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:47,520
And then what am I going to 
throw in there? 

380
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,200
And we'll talk about this drug 
in a little bit. 

381
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:54,440
It's trimethoprim, 
sulfamethoxazole, TMPSMX. 

382
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,280
So when I put that in there, I'm
going to put both in there. 

383
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,600
And the first line for UTI is 
actually the trimethoprim 

384
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,920
sulfamethoxazole, which is again
Bactrim as the the brand name, 

385
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,880
but it's great for you guys. 
The problem with this medication

386
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,600
is that we can develop a tendon 
rupture. 

387
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:26,760
And what tendon are we concerned
about that is debilitating if it

388
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,040
ruptures the Achilles, the 
Achilles. 

389
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,920
Think about any sports player 
that has had an Achilles tendon 

390
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:41,880
rupture and they're out for 
891011 months, their season 

391
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,360
ending. 
So yeah, sometimes they're that 

392
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:47,600
debilitating that they don't 
even recover back from it to the

393
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,080
full ability. 
So again, that's the big one 

394
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,160
that I want you to see along 
with the QT prolongation. 

395
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:08,080
Those are the big ones. 
Moving on, the next one is 

396
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,600
aminoglycosides. 
Aminoglycosides, this is your 

397
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,920
gentamycin, tobramycin to 
amicacin. 

398
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:22,040
But again, aside from the 
tobramycin, the mycin is spelled

399
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,600
differently. 
It's MICIN for gentamycin and 

400
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:32,720
amicacin is just a CIN. 
So again, with this one, severe 

401
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,120
infections, when do we use it? 
Which one do we use first? 

402
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,880
It depends. 
Again, do we have allergic 

403
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,440
reactions? 
Do we have any type of 

404
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,480
sensitivity? 
Do you have any type of renal 

405
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:45,280
impairment like we do here that 
we're concerned about? 

406
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,280
So we're worried about things 
like autotoxicity and 

407
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,840
nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity and 
nifrotoxicity. 

408
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,480
And I'm highlighting the most 
important parts. 

409
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,360
I know there's more in here, but
I'm highlighting things that I'm

410
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,320
going to pick out for the 
boards, things that I would ask 

411
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:06,280
you in a practice question. 
So we're looking at their renal 

412
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,960
impairment. 
We're looking at their renal 

413
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:18,190
function. 
The next one is sulfonamides. 

414
00:27:19,030 --> 00:27:21,790
So sulfa, methoxyzol, 
trimethoprim, sulfamethox, 

415
00:27:21,790 --> 00:27:26,800
methoxyzol. 
So TMPSMX this is this is 

416
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,520
Bactrim, this is your first line
for UTI. 

417
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,440
This is your first line for UTI.
Now the thing about sulfa drugs,

418
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,600
couple of things that we need to
know again sat for a photo. 

419
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:47,320
So photosensitivity big time. 
But with sulfa drugs now this is

420
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,680
an antibiotic that's a sulfa 
base. 

421
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,880
We have other drugs that are 
sulfa base too. 

422
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:57,360
Think about loop diuretics, 
think about thiazides, right? 

423
00:27:57,360 --> 00:28:00,480
Those are sulfa drugs. 
Think about sulfasalazine. 

424
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,840
We talked about that in GI when 
we talked about inflammatory 

425
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,920
bowel disease. 
So there are other drugs that 

426
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:12,120
that have a sulfa base to it 
that are in different aspects of

427
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,800
medicine. 
This one is good for UT is, but 

428
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,520
it's still a sulfa base. 
So we must ask them if they're 

429
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:25,400
allergic to sulfa drugs and we 
must look out for SJS. 

430
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,520
Anybody know what SJS stands 
for? 

431
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:39,520
Steven Johnson syndrome? 
All sulfa drugs can cause Steven

432
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:44,200
Johnson's. 
What is Steven Johnson's and why

433
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,680
is it so dangerous? 
Why are we so concerned about 

434
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,640
it? 
Like your body is going through 

435
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,800
a a fire, your skin is sloughing
off, which means you're losing 

436
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,880
fluid, which means you're going 
to become septic, which means 

437
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,320
that we're concerned about your 
skin. 

438
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,880
We're concerned about this 
allergic reaction. 

439
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,720
We're going to educate. 
If you see anything happening 

440
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,040
with your skin, stop the drug 
immediately. 

441
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,800
Stop the offending agent. 
It's one of those repetitive 

442
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,120
things that I say stop the 
offending agent. 

443
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:21,200
So again, we're looking at liver
disease and then again, we're 

444
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,840
worried about pregnancy here as 
well too. 

445
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,160
So I've said that there are 
drugs that we're concerned about

446
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,320
with pregnancy. 
The mnemonic is Taratawa. 

447
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,880
If you, if you're on our on any 
social media or if you have the 

448
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,000
quick tip book, if you look in 
your notes, those that are my 

449
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,440
that are my students, it's in 
there. 

450
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,160
So it's going to be listed in 
there as well, too. 

451
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,880
So look for identifying those 
drugs. 

452
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:56,320
The next one is actually a great
drug to test on and it's 

453
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:03,760
vancomycin and we do IV 
vancomycin for MRSA, which is 

454
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:07,040
what methicillin resistant staph
aureus. 

455
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,280
But the thing about IV 
vancomycin, I'm just talking IV 

456
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:21,000
for MRSA, is that it can cause 
this transcutaneous flushing. 

457
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,080
Transcutaneous. 
So all throughout my skin I'm 

458
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:29,160
flushing and I look like it's 
called Redman syndrome because I

459
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,720
turn completely red. 
It's that transcutaneous 

460
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,680
flushing. 
Is this anaphylaxis? 

461
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:38,920
No, we're not freaking out about
it. 

462
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,920
Good. 
We're not freaking out about it 

463
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,080
at all. 
In this situation, we're going 

464
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:48,360
to do what? 
Slow down the infusion. 

465
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,680
Slow down the infusion rate. 
Same thing with autotoxicity. 

466
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:59,520
If this patient starts to 
complain of ringing of the ear 

467
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:06,920
with vancomycin, if they start 
to complain of a fullness, then 

468
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,080
you're going to slow down the 
infusion. 

469
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,960
Slow down the infusion. 
This drug is metabolized by the 

470
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,920
kidney. 
So we are very concerned about 

471
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,680
their be on creatinine. 
Again, know the drugs 

472
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,920
antibiotics wise that are 
metabolized by the liver that 

473
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,080
are metabolized by the kidney. 
In general, if it's a high yield

474
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,800
drug, you should know which ones
are metabolized by the liver 

475
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:37,760
which metabolized by the kidney.
Think about NSAIDs, kidney, 

476
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,360
acetaminophen, liver. 
Why do we alternate those two in

477
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,320
pediatric patients? 
Because they're developing 

478
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,480
organs. 
Why do you think we say give 

479
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,400
them NSAID's first dose and give
them acetaminophen the next dose

480
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,080
and alternate? 
We alternate because of the fact

481
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:56,680
that they've got developing 
organs. 

482
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,760
Don't bombard 1 developing 
organ. 

483
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:06,760
Now we move on to oral 
vancomycin. 

484
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,880
Oral vancomycin. 
Now, if we've developed 

485
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:18,320
Clostridium difficile or C diff 
and we are unable to attack it 

486
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:23,520
by other drugs, we can resort to
oral vancomycin. 

487
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,480
Oral vancomycin is a great drug 
for C diff. 

488
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:33,080
So those are the main takeaways 
for Vanco. 

489
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,400
And the last one is the big 
guns. 

490
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:43,200
OK, you will rarely see these 
ones, but if somebody's on them,

491
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,960
just know that we pulled out the
big guns. 

492
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,440
This is like setting off an 
atomic bomb in your in your body

493
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:56,560
of of medication. 
So imapenem, marapenem, these 

494
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,520
are carbapenems and these are 
the ones that you'll see. 

495
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,000
Typically you're going to see 
these in the hospital. 

496
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,160
So you've got multi drug 
resistant infections. 

497
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,280
Look at what I put. 
They're resistant to multiple 

498
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,040
drugs. 
That's why they're called the 

499
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,040
big guns. 
So you'll see them in places 

500
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,360
like the ICU because they're 
being exposed to so many 

501
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,600
different things. 
For instance, we've got the old 

502
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,760
big gun, used to be Levaquin or 
levofloxacin. 

503
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,800
Sorry, same thing, but I'm going
back to generic levofloxacin. 

504
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,760
But then we kept prescribing, 
kept prescribing, kept 

505
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:32,800
prescribing. 
And guess what? 

506
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,960
We started getting bacteria that
was resistant to it. 

507
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,840
So now the big gun that we had 
was no longer good. 

508
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,240
That's why we're trying to 
avoid. 

509
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,080
That's why I teach you try to 
figure out is this really a 

510
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,920
bacterial infection or is this a
viral infection? 

511
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,200
And those that are my students 
know how to differentiate that 

512
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,120
by looking at labs. 
We don't want to over medicate 

513
00:33:53,160 --> 00:34:00,720
or build up resistance. 
So these are the big guns, but 

514
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,880
we're worried about seizures and
super infection and again, 

515
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,480
penicillin allergy and this one 
as well too. 

516
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:14,360
So now we get into some practice
questions.
