Impact of Using Mini-Bronchoalveolar Lavage as a Diagnostic Test for Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Bronchoalveolar lavage for Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia. Completed, enrolled 37 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The proposed study will evaluate adult patients admitted to the medical or surgical intensive care units (ICUs) at San Francisco General Hospital (SFGH). On admission, patients will be randomized in a 1:1 manner to the mini-bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) quantitative culture arm in the setting of suspected ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) versus the tracheal aspirate culture arm, which is the current test available at SFGH.
