Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is number of patients with aquired pneumonia that are mechanically ventilated who are going to be diagnosed based on clinical criteria (CRP value, microbiological analysis of material taken during brochoscopy, Chest x-ray, body temperature) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Septic episodes were diagnosed based on: clinical symptoms, laboratory results, hemodynamic parameters and microbiological analysis in accordance with the usual clinical practice, as well as on the established criteria for the diagnosis of sepsis: temperature >38 °C or 90 beats per minute, respiratory rate >20 breaths per minute, abnormal white blood cell count >12,000/mm3 or 10% bands, occurrence of hypoperfusion, hypotension and oliguria (12). | — |
