Clinical Trial Summary

Hospital acquired chest Infections are common complications in hospitalized cirrhotic patients. Infectious complications are the most common cause of mortality in cirrhotic patients with bronchopneumonia early antibiotic treatment at the base of culture and sensitivity is an optimal therapeutic approach in cirrhotics with nosocomial pneumonia Intensive care unit acquired pneumonia is the leading infection in critically ill patients and a major cause of morbidity and mortality despite recent major advances in antimicrobial therapy, supportive care, and the use of a broad range of preventive measures


Clinical Trial Description

Aim of the work

1. To estimate the frequency and risk factors of nosocomial chest infections in cirrhotic patients .

2. To determine the causative pathogens of nosocomial chest infections in patients with cirrhosis including fungal infections in order to establish our local empirical antimicrobial protocol.

3. To define the impact of nosocomial chest infections on survival of our patients.

4. To develop an effective and continuous surveillance program and infection control measures to reduce the burden of these infections as well as morbidity , mortality , hospital stay ,hospital cost and to achieve quality of care .

5. To motivate pharmaceutical companies to create a new umbrella coverage of antimicrobials through the ongoing knowledge of the changes in microbial resistance pattern inside hospitals ;
