#71 – This is a Potential Breakup Song: Controversies in the Management of Infective Endocarditis
Breakpoints
Gene to My Sin or Refampen in Combination?
Dr. Ryder: I like to always say that medications in particular, anti-microbial are not benign. They'll for make sure we're purposeful for their use and it needs to be considered. We will never feel upset if we can avoid something like Gen to my sin or Refampen, especially if a patient doesn't need it. So after the systematic review, we found a total of four studies in our literature review up through April 2022. There were no prospective randomized trials, and they all had a moderate risk of bias.

Inspired by lamentations on Twitter, Drs. Bobbi Jo Stoner (@BobbiJo_Stoner), Jonathan Ryder (@JonathanRyderMD) and Sami El-Dalati join Dr. Jillian Hayes (@thejillianhayes) to hash out some of the controversies we encounter while managing infective endocarditis. Do we really need gentamicin and rifampin for all cases of staphylococcal prosthetic valve endocarditis? Where do oral antimicrobials fit into this disease state? Who should have a seat at the table to provide the most comprehensive care to these patients? Tune in for the answers to these questions and more!
