Serial Endocan Measurements
Conditions
Brief summary
In this study; in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, making the day series Endocan measurements during the first 5 day to look at whether there is a relationship between the levels of VAP with Endocan. This relationship, if any, aimed to investigate whether correlated with clinical and laboratory findings \[presence of fever, pathological lung X-ray, the number of white blood cells (WBC), procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP)\] .
