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.
Who can take part
- You are a registered nurse in Bangladesh and agree to take part in the training.
- 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.
- The patient has not been readmitted to the ICU.

This study looks at how changing nurses' behavior and using evidence-based practices can improve quality in intensive care units. It aims to help ICUs in low- and middle-income countries provide better care.
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 study trains nurses in intensive care units (ICUs) in Bangladesh to use evidence-based practices to prevent complications like ventilator-associated pneumonia, pressure injuries, and bloodstream infections from central lines. It aims to improve patient safety and outcomes during ICU stays.
This study tests a training program for ICU nurses that includes case discussions to improve their skills and teamwork with doctors. The goal is to see if this training leads to better outcomes for patients on breathing machines.
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 watches patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who are on a breathing machine (ventilator) to learn more about pneumonia that can happen from the machine. The goal is to understand how to better prevent and treat this infection.
