Clinical Trial: Syndrome and Aspiration Pneumonia in Intensive Care

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Syndrome and Aspiration Pneumonia in Intensive Care

Brief Summary:

Inhalation is a common condition in patients with impaired their awareness requiring protection of the upper airway by endotracheal intubation. This inhalation may lead to chemical pneumonitis and/or bacterial pneumonia. Only the latter requires the administration of antibiotics. Patients developing such a bacterial pneumonia, has a mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation and length of ICU stay increased. However, the proportion of patients with such bacterial pneumonia, bacterial ecology and morbidity that are little known.

The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of bacterial pneumonia in patients admitted to the ICU for coma and treated with mechanical ventilation


Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Departemental Vendee

Current Primary Outcome: Determine the frequency of bacterial pneumonia in patients admitted to the ICU for coma and treated with mechanical ventilation [ Time Frame: ICU Discharge ]

Participants will be followed for the duration of ICU stay, an expected average of 4 days


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Quantify the use of antibiotics during the ICU stay for patients admitted to the ICU for coma and treated with mechanical ventilation [ Time Frame: ICU Discharge ]
    Participants will be followed for the duration of ICU stay, an expected average of 4 days
  • Description of the bacterial flora identified in respiratory specimens. [ Time Frame: ICU Discharge ]
    Participants will be followed for the duration of ICU stay, an expected average of 4 days
  • Identification of predictive factors for development of bacterial pneumonia [ Time Frame: ICU Discharge ]
    Participants will be followed for the duration of ICU stay, an expected average of 4 days


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
