Aerosolized Antibiotics and Respiratory Tract Infection in Patients on Mechanical Ventilation

NCT00396578 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 80

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of aerosolized antibiotics on respiratory infection in mechanically ventilated patients.We hypothesize that aerosolized antibiotics , which achieve high drug concentrations in the airway, would more effectively treat respiratory infection, decrease the need for systemic antibiotics and decrease antibiotic resistance.
