New rapid test could slash unnecessary antibiotic use in ventilator pneumonia patients
NCT ID NCT07267624
First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a quick lab test (multiplex PCR) can help doctors pick the right antibiotics faster for ICU patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia. About 170 adults on ventilators will be randomly assigned to get either the rapid test or standard testing. The goal is to see if the rapid test reduces the time patients spend on strong, broad-spectrum antibiotics, which may lower side effects and antibiotic resistance.
