Diagnosing pneumonia in ventilated ICU patients
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You were in the intensive care unit (ICU) between January 2022 and December 2024.
- You had a breathing tube (intubation) and were on a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) for more than 48 hours.
- You had a positive test from a sample taken from your lungs or airways.

This study tests whether using a DNA test on lung fluid can help doctors choose better antibiotics for pneumonia in ICU patients with weakened immune systems. It may lead to more effective treatment and fewer side effects.
This study looks at how well antibiotics work for pneumonia caused by a specific bacterium (Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) in patients who are on breathing machines in the intensive care unit (ICU). It will help doctors choose the best treatment.
This trial tests a new way to predict how well patients with a ventilator-associated lung infection will respond to treatment. It uses two bronchoscopy samples to track bacteria levels and guide better care.
This study looks at how the immune system reacts in ICU patients on a ventilator who have pneumonia. By measuring immune markers, the researchers hope to better understand and predict complications like ventilator-associated pneumonia.
This study looks at changes (biomarkers) in the blood or other samples from people on a breathing machine. It may help doctors detect ventilator-associated pneumonia earlier and tailor treatment sooner.
This trial tests an “antibiotic stewardship” approach—choosing and adjusting antibiotics in a smarter way—for a first episode of pneumonia in patients on a breathing machine. It may help ensure the right antibiotics are used at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary or overly broad treatment.
