Reducing pneumonia in ICU patients through evidence-based nursing
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether teaching nurses proven methods can lower the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia (a lung infection from breathing machines) in intensive care. It aims to improve care for patients on ventilators.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You work directly with patients in the ICU.
- The patient is 18 years or older and their legal guardian agrees to join the study.
- The patient is on a breathing tube (intubated) after being admitted to the ICU.
- The patient stays in the ICU for at least 2 days.

This study looks at whether changing how nurses work and using proven best practices can improve care quality in ICUs in countries with fewer resources. It focuses on nurses' role in preventing problems like infections.
This trial tests whether using a fast respiratory test combined with a treatment plan can help doctors choose the right antibiotics sooner for patients in the intensive care unit who get pneumonia from a breathing machine. It aims to improve treatment and reduce unnecessary antibiotics.
This trial tests whether giving preventive antibiotics to adults on breathing machines lowers the risk of developing pneumonia during ventilation. It is a double-blind study, meaning neither you nor your doctor will know if you receive the antibiotic or a placebo.
This trial trains nurses in evidence-based practices to prevent common infections in intensive care units (ICUs). It aims to reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia, pressure injuries, and bloodstream infections from central lines.
This study looks at different types of lung infections in ICU patients on breathing machines. By analyzing fluid from your lungs, researchers hope to better understand pneumonia and improve treatment.
This study is testing a way to reduce the chance of a certain breathing problem (called NAV) in babies who need a breathing machine in the NICU. If your baby has been on the machine for two days or more, they may be able to join.
