Fast pneumonia test for critically ill patients
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a quick test to find out which bacteria are causing severe pneumonia in very sick patients. It aims to help doctors choose the right antibiotics faster, which may improve recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are in the intensive care unit (ICU) and have severe pneumonia.
- You have pneumonia that started in the hospital or while on a breathing machine, or you have community-acquired pneumonia with a high risk of a resistant bacteria.
- You do not have certain life-threatening conditions like active dangerous heart rhythms, recent stroke, heart shock, severe bleeding, drug overdose, or advanced cancer with less than 1 year to live.
