Diagnostic Breath Analysis for Detection of Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia (VAP)

Bacterial Infections

Breath 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.

Usage of Meropenem/Gentamicin Versus Ceftazidime/Avibactam in ARDS

Ventilator Associated Pneumonia

This was a prospective double blind study conducted on 200 polytrauma patients admitted to King Abdul-Aziz Specialized Hospital, Taif, KSA between July 2018 and December 2019 in surgical ICU. All patients were having severe chest trauma, contused lungs either with or without severe head trauma.

Immune Suppression and Ventilator Associated Pneumonias

Sepsis

Patients in the ICU are already predisposed to nosocomial infections, which are both costly and potentially life threatening, and it appears that the immune paralysis of sepsis may put these patients at greater risk for secondary infections, though this has not been proven conclusively. One measure of this sepsis-induced immune suppression is monocyte deactivation. The investigators hypothesize that, as a cornerstone of the monocytic innate immune response to infection, the inflammasome is critical to monocyte function during sepsis.

Prospective, multicenter observational study to collect Escherichia coli (E. coli) isolates originating from mechanically ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients; in order to characterize phenotype and genotype of E. coli strains retrieved from the lower respiratory tract of ventilated patients.

Hyperoxemia and Ventilator-associated Pneumonia

Mechanical Ventilation

The aim of this prospective cohort single-center observational study is to determine the impact of hyperoxemia on ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) occurrence. SpO2 will be continuously recorded in order to determine the percentage of time spent with hyperoxemia. Patients with VAP will be prospectively identified. Patient characteristics and risk factors for VAP will be prospectively collected. Oxidant stress will be prospectively investigated in study patients: glutathion peroxidase (GPX), plasmatic superoxyde dismutase (SOD), total plasmatic antioxidant status (SAT) and urinary 8-isoprostanes will be performed at ICU admission, once a week, and at VAP occurrence. Patients with VAP will be compared with those with no VAP

Lung Ultrasound in Procalcitonin- Guided Antibiotic Discontinuation in Ventilator Associated Pneumonia...

Ventilator Associated Pneumonia

Ventilator Associated pneumonia (VAP) is associated with longer ICU length of stay, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and increased use of antimicrobials, health-care cost and mortality . Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) comprise a large and heterogeneous group of infections, including bacterial infections, viral infections, and infections of other etiologies. Early initiation of adequate antibiotic therapy is the cornerstone in the treatment. However, overuse of antibiotics and prolonged duration of antibiotic therapy in patients with bacterial ARIs in the hospital and intensive care setting is associated with increased resistance for common bacteria, high costs, and adverse drug reactions.
