Faster test could curb powerful antibiotic overuse in critically ill patients

NCT ID NCT07267624

Summary

This study aims to see if using a faster, more detailed lab test on lung fluid samples can help doctors in intensive care units (ICUs) reduce the use of powerful, broad-spectrum antibiotics for patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia. It will compare this new testing approach to standard methods in about 170 critically ill adults. The main goal is to see if patients can spend fewer hours on these strong antibiotics in their first week, which could help fight antibiotic resistance.
