This trial tests if anti-inflammatory drugs tailored to specific germs can help patients in the ICU with severe community-acquired pneumonia recover faster. You may be eligible if you've been in the ICU less than 48 hours and meet certain diagnostic criteria.
This study looks at how severe pneumonia acquired outside of a hospital is currently treated, to better understand the illness and improve care. It may help researchers develop better ways to diagnose and manage this serious lung infection.
This study tests different antibiotic combinations for severe infections caused by hard-to-treat Gram-negative bacteria (like Pseudomonas or Acinetobacter). The goal is to find the best treatment for bloodstream infections or pneumonia that started in the hospital.
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 study looks at different types of sepsis in patients with severe pneumonia. It aims to see how the type of sepsis affects treatment with a common antibiotic called piperacillin/tazobactam.
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics directly into the lungs can help treat severe pneumonia. If you have been hospitalized with pneumonia and have a high fever or high inflammation levels, you may be eligible.
