DOI: 10.1002/ncp.10191
Abstract: BACKGROUND Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) occurs as a life-threatening complication in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients. Probiotic administration may modify the gut microbiota; however, whether this modification could decrease VAP occurrence is not known. METHODS In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ppul.25769
Abstract: BACKGROUND Little is known about the airway microbiome in intubated mechanically ventilated children. We sought to characterize the airway microbiome longitudinally and in association with clinical variables and possible ventilator-associated infection (VAI). METHODS Serial tracheal… read more here.

Enteral antipseudomonal fluoroquinolones for ventilator‐associated tracheobronchitis in children with pre‐existing tracheostomy
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Pediatric Pulmonology"
DOI: 10.1002/ppul.25816
Abstract: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most commonly isolated organism in tracheostomy‐dependent children with ventilator‐associated tracheobronchitis (VAT). Enteral treatment with an antipseudomonal fluoroquinolone such as ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin is sometimes employed, but supportive data are limited. The… read more here.
