Clinical Trial Summary

To determine if the analysis of exhaled breath condensate correlates with the development & resolution of pneumonia.


Clinical Trial Description

This proposal investigates the utility of exhaled breath condensate fluid (EBCF) collected from heat moisture exchange (HME) filters connected to patient's endotracheal tubes for early, non-invasive detection of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in critically ill or injured ICU patients. The development of pneumonia during mechanical ventilation is the most common healthcare-associated infection in severely injured patients, accounting for substantial morbidity, excess ICU and hospital stay, additional cost and increased mortality. ;
