AntiThrombotic Therapy to Ameliorate Clinical Complications in Community Acquired Pneumonia
This is an international, open-label, stratified randomized controlled trial with Bayesian adaptive stopping rules to compare the effects of therapeutic-dose heparin vs. usual care pharmacological thromboprophylaxis on outcomes in patients admitted to hospital with community acquired pneumonia (CAP).
Perioperative Respiratory Care and Outcomes for Patients Undergoing High Risk Abdominal Surgery
PENGUIN is a pragmatic multi-center trial investigating the effects of pre-operative mouthwash and perioperative oxygen on the incidences of pneumonia and surgical site infection (SSI) following major abdominal surgery. Patients will be recruited from low and middle income countries and randomly assigned to a trial treatment arms: a) pre-operative chlorhexidine …
Twice Daily Treatment With Amoxicillin for Non-severe Community Acquired Pneumonia.
The aim of this study will be to evaluate whether a twice-daily antibiotic regimen is non-inferior to a thrice-daily regimen for the treatment of non-severe community acquired pneumonia in children presenting at a paediatric Emergency Department (ED).
Acyclovir in Ventilated Patients With Pneumonia and HSV-1 in BAL
Almost 90 out of 100 people carry herpes simplex viruses (HSV). Once a person has been infected with the herpes viruses, he or she can't get rid of them for the rest of her/his life. For the most part, the viruses are in a dormant state. Only when the immune …
Comparing Antibiotic Treatment Strategies for Children With Pneumonia in Outpatient Settings: (STAMPP)
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a "watch and wait" antibiotic strategy, called Safety Net Antibiotic Prescribing (SNAP), can safely reduce unnecessary antibiotic use while ensuring that children diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia get better from their illness. The main aims of this study are: To compare …
Immediate Versus Substantiated Antibiotic Therapy in Suspected Non-Severe Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the leading nosocomial infection in the intensive care units, and is associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation and overuse of antibiotics. Initiating antibiotic therapy immediately after bacteriological sampling (immediate strategy) may expose uninfected patients to unnecessary treatment, while waiting for bacteriological confirmation (conservative strategy) may delay ventilator-associated pneumonia …
Efficacy and Safety of Trimodulin (BT588) in Subjects With Severe Community-acquired Pneumonia (sCAP)
The main objective of the trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of trimodulin as adjunctive treatment to standard of care (SoC) compared to placebo plus SoC in adult hospitalized subjects with sCAP on invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Other objectives are to determine detailed pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of trimodulin …
Awake Prone Positioning of Patients Suffering Community Acquired Pneumonia Requiring Nasal High Flow Therapy
Community acquired pneumonia, in particular when requiring oxygen therapy because of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and meeting acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) criteria frequently leads to tracheal intubation and poor outcome. Among invasively mechanically ventilated patients with ARDS and presenting a PaO2/FiO2 ratio (arterial partial pressure of oxygen to inspired …
Pre- and Postoperative Chest Therapy With Positive Expiratory Pressure (PEP) to Prevent Hospital-acquired Pneumonia
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate whether pre- and postoperative treatment with systematic PEP therapy can prevent hospital-acquired pneumonia in patients with hip frac-ture. It will also learn about the barriers regarding PEP therapy in this group of patients. Does pre- and postoperative treatment with systematic PEP …
Azithromycin Versus Doxycycline in Hospitalized Adult Patients With Community Acquired Pneumonia Treated With Beta-lactams
The purpose of this study is to compare effectiveness and safety of Azithromycin versus Doxycycline in adult patients hospitalized with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) treated with Beta-lactams.
