Ventilator associated pneumonia and infection control

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2006
Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care units. The incidence of VAP varies from 7% to 70% in different studies and the mortality rates are 20–75% according to the study population ...

Visual Patterns of Diaphragmatic Motion in Acute Respiratory Failure: A Prospective Pilot Study

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 421-428, March/April 2025.
In this prospective bicentric study, we studied the relationship between the appearance of diaphragmatic motion and the etiological diagnosis of patients admitted to the emergency department with ARF. We observed a different visual pattern in patients with pneumonia. This is an interesting result as it allows the diagnosis of pneumonia without the need

Diaphragm Ultrasonography Reveals Progressive Changes in Diaphragmatic Function, Morphology, and Muscle Trophism During Invasive Mechanical Ventilation in Children

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
Diaphragm ultrasonography detected progressive structural and functional deterioration in mechanically ventilated children. Prolonged invasive mechanical ventilation and neuromuscular blocking agent use were associated with ventilator‐induced diaphragmatic dysfunction, highlighting ultrasound as a valuable bedside tool to support individualized ...

Gradient diffusion antibiogram used directly on bronchial aspirates for a rapid diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia

, 2019
Background In patients with suspected ventilator-associated pneumonia, a rapid etiological diagnosis is crucial as incorrect or delayed treatment in the first few hours leads to a worse prognosis and a higher mortality rate.

Factors associated with discharge on higher respiratory support for children with tracheostomy hospitalized with bacterial tracheostomy‐associated infections: A prospective, multicenter cohort study

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract We conducted a multicenter prospective cohort study to identify factors associated with discharge on higher respiratory support in children with tracheostomy hospitalized for bacterial tracheostomy‐associated infections (bTRAINs). We included children 0–21 years with tracheostomy hospitalized for bTRAIN at six freestanding children's hospitals
