Summary

The aim of this study is to develop a safe and effective technique to take sample for lower respiratory tract cultures easy to perform in conditions of acute respiratory failure and spontaneous ventilation for patients admitted in intensive care unit for acute infectious pneumonia and non intubated. The investigators perform sample collection with a mini bronchoalveolar lavage catheter introduced by nasotracheal way through a suction catheter. The purpose of the study is to assess the microbiological diagnostic capacity of this new technique.

Conditions

  • Bacterial Pneumonia

Interventions

DEVICE

catheter for mini bronchoalveolar lavage

For each patient included an endotracheal aspiration and a mini bronchoalveolar lavage will be performed. After local anaesthesia, a suction catheter will be introduced in trachea by nasotracheal way. An endotracheal aspirate will be performed. Then, the mini bronchoalveolar lavage will be performed with the specific catheter introduced through the suction catheter. Expectorated sputum will also be ordered. This procedure will be performed once at the admission patient in intensive care unit.
