Summary

Patients on mechanical ventilation (MV) following SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia frequently develop ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). The incidence of MVAP during SARS-CoV-2 infections ranges from 50 to nearly 90%. In addition, up to 80% of recurrences of VAP (a new episode, most often attributable to the same bacteria) have been described, reflecting the failure of the initial antibiotic therapy. This incidence is much higher than that described for other etiologies of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The investigators hypothesize that during VAP, there is an alteration of the diffusion of intravenous antibiotics in the lung parenchyma in COVID-19 patients in relation to several factors characteristic of SARS-CoV-2 infection. This altered diffusion may explain the high number of recurrences of MVAP compared to non-COVID-19 patients.

Conditions

  • ARDS
  • SARS-CoV 2 Pneumonia

Interventions

OTHER

blood sample and bronchoalveolar lavage

These patients are put on VM as part of their care and present a suspicion of a 1st episode of PAVM for which a microbiological sample is taken and a probabilistic antibiotic therapy is started with the PIP-TAZ association (D0). A plasma PIP-TAZ assay will be performed 48 hours after the start of antibiotic therapy with PIP-TAZ. Blood urea will be measured and a mini-LBA (performed with a Combicatheter®) will be performed to measure PIP-TAZ and urea in the ELF. On day 7 of the antibiotic therapy (last day of the planned antibiotic therapy), the same samples are taken and the same analyses are performed + bacteriology on the mini BAL. For patients for whom antibiotic therapy has been interrupted because of sterile samples, the samples taken at D7 will not be taken. The clinical outcome of the patient will then be recorded until D60.
