Increasing the ventilation perfusion mismatch is not a goal of management in the treatment of bacterial pneumonia.
Bacterial pneumonia is characterized by fever, tachypnea, dyspnea, hypoxemia, tachycardia, cough, and bloody or purulent sputum. Increasing the mismatch of ventilation and perfusion will lead to further respiratory distress. So it is not a goal of management.
