Comparative Study between Usage of Meropenem/Gentamicin versus ceftazidime/Avibactam in the Treatment of ARDS Induced by both Lung Trauma and VAP
Author(s): Mohamed Gaber Ibrahium Mostafa Allam*
Introduction: Contused lungs threaten life of the polytrauma patients. Accumulation of fluid in the lungs markedly reduces oxygenation and facilitates development of Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP). VAP is a subtype of health care acquired pneumonia with high mortality rate (45%). Antibiotics are considered as the corner stone of management in treatment of VAP.
Aim: To evaluate and compare the effect of use of combination of meropenem/gentamicin versus the use of ceftazidime/avibactam in the treatment of ARDS induced by both VAP and lung contusion and early weaning from the ventilator and compare their effect on the mortality rate.
Patients and methods: Prospective double blind study conducted on 200 patients of King Abdul-Aziz Specialized Hospital. Patients were allocated in two groups: Group A included 100 .. View More»
