Scoring infections in ventilated ICU patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at using a simple scoring system that combines chest ultrasound and clinical signs to better diagnose and predict outcomes of lung infections that can happen to people on breathing machines in the ICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be on a breathing machine (ventilator) for at least 48 hours after being admitted to the ICU.
- You cannot have been diagnosed with pneumonia before getting on the ventilator.

This trial tests a new way to better understand lung infections in very sick ICU patients. It looks at people with septic shock, severe trauma, or major burns to see if an infection is the cause.
This trial tests whether a simple lung ultrasound score can help predict outcomes in ICU patients with acute respiratory failure. It may help identify patients who need more intensive care or a different treatment plan.
This study tests a new way to quickly diagnose pneumonia in children on breathing machines in the ICU. It uses information from the body and germs to find the right treatment faster.
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 looks at how well doctors followed current guidelines to diagnose ventilator-associated pneumonia (a lung infection from a breathing tube) in ICU patients between 2022 and 2024. It aims to improve future care.
