New program aims to curb unnecessary antibiotics for critically ill children
NCT ID NCT04987840
Summary
This study is testing a new hospital program designed to help doctors decide when to order lung fluid tests for children on breathing machines in intensive care. The goal is to reduce unnecessary testing, which often leads to overuse of antibiotics. Researchers will compare data from before and after the program starts at multiple children's hospitals to see if it safely lowers antibiotic use without harming patients.
