Biomarker-guided antibiotic stewardship in suspected ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAPrapid2) : a randomised controlled trial and process evaluation [PDF]

, 2019
Background Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the most common intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired infection, yet accurate diagnosis remains difficult, leading to overuse of antibiotics. Low concentrations of IL-1β and IL-8 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

Machine Learning Reveals the Value of Unconventional T Lymphocytes in Sepsis and Prognosis of Elderly Patients With Severe Lower Respiratory Tract Infections

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Initially, 166 subjects aged 65 years or older with severe LRTIs met the diagnostic criteria, but 30 cases were excluded due to incomplete clinical data, and 17 cases were excluded due to the presence of malignancies, connective tissue diseases, or long‐term use of immunosuppressive agents. Ultimately, 119 patients were included in the study. The study

Lung ultrasound for diagnosis and monitoring of ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Annals of Translational Medicine, 2018
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most frequent nosocomial infection in intensive care units (ICU) and is associated with increased mortality, use of antimicrobials, longer mechanical ventilation, and higher healthcare costs.

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
