Summary

The primary objective of the AMIVAT trial is to assess whether a 5-day course of inhaled amikacin, compared to placebo, reduces the incidence of progression to ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) at day 28 in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT). Transition from VAT to VAP will be defined as the occurrence of a first VAP episode due to the same pathogens than those responsible for VAT.

Conditions

  • Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
  • Ventilator-Associated Tracheobronchitis

Interventions

DRUG

Optimized and protocolized nebulization procedure.

Patients in the experimental group will receive inhaled amikacin (once daily, 20 mg/kg of predicted body weight with a maximum of 2 grams) from Day 1 (inclusion, randomization and first nebulization) to Day 5 through an optimized and protocolized nebulization procedure (vibrating mesh nebulizer).

DRUG

Optimized and protocolized nebulization procedure.

Patients in the control group will receive inhaled placebo (NaCl 0.9%, once daily) from Day 1 (inclusion, randomization and first nebulization) to Day 5 through an optimized and protocolized nebulization procedure (vibrating mesh nebulizer).
