Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Pneumonia without ICU stewardship involvement
Patients receiving \>24 hours of invasive mechanical ventilation for pneumonia-related respiratory failure. Antibiotic choice and duration of therapy will not be influenced by the dedicated ICU stewardship team.
No interventions assigned to this group
Pneumonia with ICU stewardship involvement
Patients receiving \>24 hours of invasive mechanical ventilation for pneumonia-related respiratory failure. Recommendations for antibiotic choice and duration of therapy will be provided by the dedicated ICU stewardship team (consisting of pulmonary fellows and ICU pharmacists)
Antibiotic de-escalation by ICU stewardship team with decreased exposure to broad spectrum antibiotics and shorter duration of therapy
ICU stewardship team will provide recommendations to the ICU team regarding antibiotic de-escalation and duration of therapy in attempts of improving antibiotic stewardship practices without compromising patient outcomes.Recommendations will be based on patient showing clinical improvement combined with microbial culture data.
