Morbidity and mortality related to pneumonia and TRACHEOBRONCHITIS in ICU after lung transplantation
BACKGROUND Bacterial respiratory infections (BRI) are major complications contributing to increased morbidity and mortality after lung transplantation (LT). This study analyzed epidemiology and outcome of 175 consecutive patients developing BRI in ICU after LT between 2006 and 2012. METHODS Three situations were described: colonization determined in donors and recipients, pneumonia and trache...
متن کاملPre-emptive antibiotic therapy to reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia: “thinking outside the box”
Mechanically ventilated, intubated patients are at increased risk for tracheal colonization with bacterial pathogens that may progress to heavy bacterial colonization, ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT), and/or ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Previous studies report that 10 to 30 % of patients with VAT progress to VAP, resulting in increased morbidity and significant acute and...
متن کاملRespiratory research networks in Europe and beyond: aims, achievements and aspirations for the 21st century
Healthcare-associated infection, such as intensive care unit (ICU)-related respiratory infections, remain the most frequently encountered morbidity of ICU admission, prolonging hospital stay and increasing mortality rates. The epidemiology of ICU-related respiratory infections, particularly nonventilated ICU-associated pneumonia and ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis, appears to be quite d...
متن کاملVentilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT): questions, answers, and a new paradigm?
Nosocomial lower respiratory tract infections are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Although many studies have investigated the management and prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), few have focused on ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT). In this issue of Critical Care, Nseir and coworkers present interesting data from a ran...
متن کاملEpidemiology, clinical differences and outcomes of tracheobronchitis and pneumonia associated to mechanical ventilation in intensive care units of latin america (LATINNAVE)
Introduction The infections associated with mechanical ventilation are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Limited studies report increased mortality and ICU stay, requirement for mechanical ventilation and higher costs in ventilator-associated Tracheobronchitis (TAV) in comparison to patients with ventilatorassociated pneumonia (NAV). These studies do not descr...
