Improving pneumonia diagnosis in ventilated ICU patients
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at better ways to diagnose pneumonia in patients who are on a breathing machine in the intensive care unit. It uses two scoring systems to help doctors identify pneumonia earlier and predict how well patients will do.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be on a breathing machine (ventilator) in the intensive care unit.
- You must have been on the breathing machine for at least 48 hours.
