VENTILATOR ASSOCIATED PNEUMONIA ( VAP)

This study tested if adding an inhaled antibiotic (amikacin) to standard intravenous antibiotics helps patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) recover faster. It involved 180 adults in intensive care who were on breathing machines and had developed a lung infection. R…

This study tested whether continuous, automatic monitoring of breathing tube pressure works better than manual checks every 8 hours to prevent pneumonia in ICU patients on ventilators. Researchers followed 40 patients with severe head injuries for up to 7 days to see which method…

This study looked at whether giving a short course of antibiotics right after a severe injury could prevent pneumonia in patients who need a ventilator to breathe. It involved over 2,100 adult trauma patients who were put on a ventilator. The goal was to see if this early prevent…

This study tested if a special mouth cleaning routine could prevent dangerous lung infections in children on breathing machines in the intensive care unit. Researchers compared regular mouth cleaning to a more thorough method that included toothbrushing with an antiseptic mouthwa…

This study aimed to better understand a dangerous lung infection called ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in intensive care patients. Researchers closely examined the sticky layer of germs (biofilm) that forms inside the breathing tubes of 61 patients on ventilators. The goal…
