Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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, to facilitate their execution.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most frequent healthcare associated infections in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and a significant burden among ICU patients under invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV).

Several preventive and therapeutic treatment options are being developed in the field of VAP that will require evaluation in future randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

RCTs are the gold standard for evaluating medical interventions but are difficult to perform in a population at risk of, or with, VAP.

These trials are challenging since it is difficult to recruit a large enough volume of high-quality centers to achieve the required number of recruited patients, especially if the focus is on specific patient groups (e.g., VAP due to a specific pathogen), for which site selection can be even more challenging and time consuming. There is a need for a well-organized and well-trained international network of ICUs focusing on VAP research that enables efficient execution of RCTs on diagnostic, preventive and curative interventions in this population.

Through a Perpetual Observational Study (POS) we can provide quick access to a network of sites that fulfill pre-specified criteria. Additionally, the structured network of POS sites within ECRAID will maintain continuous activity to carry out observational studies in this specific field, implementing informed consent (where required), increasing quality and efficiency, and facilitating contracting.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Enrolled population

All patients meeting eligibility criteria (Adult patients, under a documented or expected time under mechanical ventilation of at least \>48h) and providing one of:

* Informed consent
* Hospital level consent
* Non-objection notice
* Waiver of consent

No interventions assigned to this group

VAP population

Subset of the enrolled population fulfilling U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) criteria for VAP diagnosis at any time during the follow up

No interventions assigned to this group

Microbiologically evaluable VAP population

Subset of the VAP population with a documented causative agent (bronchoalveolar lavage \[BAL\], endotracheal aspirate \[ETA\], blood sample, sputum, or pleural fluid) within 48 hours from VAP diagnosis

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age≥18 years
* At risk of acquiring VAP during ICU stay, defined as:
* Requiring admission or being admitted to the ICU.
* Expected or documented to be under IMV for more than 48 hours.
* Consent, either a written informed consent given by the study patient in full medical, psychological, cognitive, social or legal capacity to give an informed consent, or, if not possible, by a Legally Authorized Representative of the study patient OR any applicable locally accepted form of consent OR consent waiver allowing data collection and sharing of data according to ECRAID's principles

Exclusion Criteria

* Death is deemed to be imminent or inevitable during this hospital admission AND one or more of the patient, substitute decision maker or attending physician are not committed to full active treatment.
