Identification of Biomarkers for Severe Pneumonia
BiomarkersTo identify the potential serum biomarkers with regard to the severity of pneumonia, and to further evaluate the prognostic value of these markers.
Lung Ultrasonography After Major Cardiac Surgery
PneumoniaCardio/Pulm: Respiratory Failure1 moreDiagnosis of pneumonia remains difficult in intensive care unit (ICU), notably after cardiac surgery. Lung ultrasonography (LUS) has been successfully used for diagnosis of pneumonia, but its usefulness and reliability was never evaluated after cardiac surgery. This study investigates the clinical relevance of LUS for pneumonia diagnoses in cardiac ICU.
Diagnostic Breath Analysis for Detection of Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia (VAP)
Bacterial InfectionsBreath samples from patients with Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia (VAP) will be analyzed to identify Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) that have been specifically associated with VAP in previous animal models. Primary outcome measures will include the assessment of the zNose Diagnostic Breath Analysis System in the early detection of VOC's associated with VAP.
International Study on NoSocomial Pneumonia in Intensive CaRE (PneumoINSPIRE)
Nosocomial PneumoniaThe International study on NoSocomial Pneumonia in Intensive CaRE (PneumoINSPIRE) is a prospective, international, multicentre, observational, cohort study. The study aims to provide up-to-date and generalisable information on current worldwide epidemiology and clinical practice associated with diagnosis and management of nosocomial pneumonia in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. PneumoINSPIRE study is endorsed by the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM).
