Drug trial aims to get sepsis patients off ventilators faster
NCT ID NCT04706507
Summary
This study tested whether giving the antiviral drug ganciclovir to ICU patients with severe infection and breathing failure could help them spend more days breathing without machine support. Researchers wanted to see if preventing a common virus from reactivating during critical illness would improve recovery. The trial involved 205 adults in intensive care who were already infected with cytomegalovirus and had developed sepsis-related breathing problems.
