- Perpetual Observational Study – Ventilator Associated Pneumonia — Recruiting • Respiratory / COPD / Asthma • NCT05719259.
- What is being tested: This perpetual observational study is monitoring the epidemiology, microbiology, and outcomes of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in ICU patients requiring mechanical ventilation, tracking bacterial resistance patterns and clinical management strategies.
- Patient eligibility overview: The study includes adult ICU patients who develop bacterial respiratory infections while mechanically ventilated, with ongoing recruitment to capture contemporary VAP cases and their associated risk factors.

Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is a bacterial respiratory infection that patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) often get when they cannot breathe for themselves and require mechanical ventilation. It is linked to higher chances of death, a longer stay in the hospital, higher costs, and the use of more antibiotics. Options to help prevent or treat this disease are in development and will require evaluation in future clinical trials. The goal of POS-VAP is to build and continuously train a network of ICUs to be prepared for doing these trials,…
