Rationale: Current guidelines recommend patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia receive empirical antibiotics for suspected bacterial superinfection on the basis of weak evidence. Rates ventilator-associated (VAP) in clinical trials SARS-CoV-2 are unexpectedly low. Objectives: We conducted an observational single-center study to determine prevalence and etiology at time initial intubation incidence subsequent VAP pneumonia. Methods: Bronchoscopic...
ABSTRACT Background SARS-CoV-2 can cause severe respiratory failure leading to prolonged mechanical ventilation. Data are just emerging about the practice and outcomes of tracheostomy in these patients. We reviewed our experience with tracheostomies for at tertiary-care, urban teaching hospital. Methods demographics, comorbidities, timing ventilation, tracheostomy, ICU hospital lengths-of-stay (LOS) patients who received tracheostomies. Early was considered <14 days Medians interquartile...
