Eligibility

All
Age
18 Years to 130 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age >=18 years; 2. Patients who have received invasive mechanical ventilation (via endotracheal intubation or tracheostomy) within 48 hours; 3. Patients judged by the investigator to be expected to require invasive mechanical ventilation for >=48 hours; 4. tNGS testing of lower respiratory tract samples submitted by the investigator shows no detected resistance genes.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.Length of stay in a healthcare facility =7 days; 2. Patients judged by the investigator to be expected to die within 48 hours; 3. Detection of drug-resistant bacteria in lower respiratory tract samples within 1 week. Lower respiratory tract samples include endotracheal aspirates, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) specimens, deep sputum, blind mini-bronchoalveolar lavage (mini-BAL) specimens, protected specimen brush (PSB) samples, lung tissue biopsy, and pleural effusion. Detection methods include microbiological culture plus antimicrobial susceptibility testing; 4. Detection of drug-resistant bacteria in blood within 1 week; 5. History of Tanreqing Injection use within 1 week; 6. History of inhaled antibacterial drug use within 1 week; 7. Hypersensitivity to Tanreqing Injection or its constituents containing Scutellaria baicalensis, bear bile powder, goat horn, Lonicera japonica (honeysuckle), or Forsythia suspensa, or hypersensitivity to alcohols; 8. History of severe adverse drug reactions; 9. Liver failure (Child-Pugh class C); 10. Chronic renal failure (glomerular filtration rate <15 mL/min, or currently receiving hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis); 11.End-stage heart failure (progressive structural heart disease with symptoms at rest despite active medical treatment and requiring specialized intervention); 12.Pregnant or lactating women; 13. Participation in any clinical trial within the past 3 months; 14. Refusal to sign the informed consent form.
