Can short antibiotic courses stop pneumonia in ICU patients?
NCT ID NCT03012360
Summary
This study aimed to see if giving antibiotics to critically ill patients on breathing machines who develop a specific lung infection (ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis) could prevent it from turning into a more serious pneumonia. It compared giving no antibiotics to giving them for 3 days or 7 days. The trial was stopped early and did not complete as planned.
