An automatic summary of structured registry data. It is an orientation aid, not a substitute for the official protocol or a physician assessment.
- What is being studied
- This is an observational study: the protocol does not assign a study treatment.
- Who it may be relevant to
- Registry conditions: Patients with VAP in RICU Patients. Basic parameters: from 18 years · All.
- What needs checking
- Age, condition and sex are only basic indicators. Prior treatment, laboratory values and other mandatory requirements appear in the eligibility criteria below.
- Where it takes place
- Center list to be confirmed — check the primary protocol.
- Next step
- Save the trial, show it to the treating physician, and confirm current recruitment with the study center. Costs, documents and travel →

Overview
-Pneumonia is a bacterial, viral or fungal infection of the lungs, which causes the alveoli of the lungs to fill up with microorganisms, fluid and inflammatory cells, preventing the lungs from functioning effectively The classification scheme for pneumonia in UK NHS hospitals is based on the setting in which the infection was mostly likely acquired: community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), when a patient is in the hospital \<48h before the pneumonia is suspected; hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), when a patient is in the hospital \>48h before the pneumonia develops, but is not associated with mechanical ventilation; and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), when a patient is mechanically ventilated and intubated for \>48h before the pneumonia develops The causative pathogens in each scenario are different, and treatment strategies vary as a consequence.
Detailed description
-Pneumonia is a bacterial, viral or fungal infection of the lungs, which causes the alveoli of the lungs to fill up with microorganisms, fluid and inflammatory cells, preventing the lungs from functioning effectively
The classification scheme for pneumonia in UK NHS hospitals is based on the setting in which the infection was mostly likely acquired:
community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), when a patient is in the hospital \<48h before the pneumonia is suspected; hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP), when a patient is in the hospital \>48h before the pneumonia develops, but is not associated with mechanical ventilation; and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), when a patient is mechanically ventilated and intubated for \>48h before the pneumonia develops The causative pathogens in each scenario are different, and treatment strategies vary as a consequence.
Primary outcome measures
- Role of Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score and sonopulmonary infection score in diagnosis of VAP and Predicting Outcome in RICU Patients [Time frame: 4 years]
