Keywords
Bronchoalveolar lavage, amylase assay, aspiration pneumonia
Brief summary
To evaluate the diagnostic performance of amylase assay performed from bronchial alveolar fluid to differentiate aseptic chemical inhalation pneumonitis from an infectious inhalation pneumonitis in comatose patients with intubated ventilation for less than 24 hours.
Detailed description
Validation of the potential diagnostic performance of amylase assay compared to gold standard in diagnosis of infectious inhalation pneumonia of the comatose patient enabling the realization of a multicentric study using this innovative method in a diagnostic strategy with the objective of reducing the consumption of antibiotics.
