First seen Mar 12, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tests a new way to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), a common and serious infection in ICU patients on breathing machines. Researchers will use a rapid test (about 4 hours) to find harmful bacteria in the airway, then give targeted inhaled antibiotics only to those who need them. The goal is to see if this personalized approach is practical and safe in 70 critically ill adults.
