Breathing treatment could stop deadly hospital pneumonia
NCT ID NCT03149640
Summary
This large study tested whether inhaling an antibiotic (amikacin) for three days could prevent pneumonia in patients on breathing machines. It involved 850 adults in intensive care who had been on ventilators for more than three days. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either the real antibiotic or a placebo (inactive substance) through a nebulizer to see which group developed fewer infections.
