Calculates the Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS) for VAP diagnosis using temperature, WBC, tracheal secretions, PaO2/FiO2, chest X-ray, and culture results, with antibiotic selection guidance.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculates the Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS) for VAP diagnosis using temperature, WBC, tracheal secretions, PaO2/FiO2, chest X-ray, and culture results, with antibiotic selection guidance

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Temperature — The temperature recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • WBC — The wbc recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Tracheal secretions — The tracheal secretions recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • PaO2/FiO2 — The pao2/fio2 recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Chest X-ray — The chest x-ray recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.
  • Culture results — The culture results recorded for the patient or scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the vap cpis score result against the clinical thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the temperature, WBC, tracheal secretions, PaO2/FiO2, chest X-ray, culture results for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculates the Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS) for VAP diagnosis using temperature, WBC, tracheal secretions, PaO2/FiO2, chest X-ray, and culture results, with antibiotic selection guidance. Use the vap cpis score result to inform your clinical assessment.
