NCT ID NCT07203638

Summary

This study is testing whether giving preventive antibiotics can stop patients on breathing machines from developing pneumonia, a serious and common hospital infection.

Researchers will compare patients who receive the antibiotics to those who receive a placebo to see which group gets fewer infections.
