Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to measure how the use of Film-Array Pneumonia (FA-PNEU) on respiratory samples of adult patients suspected of acute care pneumonia in the intensive care unit of Saint-Luc University Hospital can accelerate / improve the initiation of the optimal antibiotic treatment.
Detailed Description
The main objective of this trial is to confirm/attest/prove the following statement: The use of the FilmArray Pneumonia panel on respiratory samples of critically ill suspected with pneumonia, enables a faster microbiological pneumonia diagnosis and an improved therapeutic management of the patient.
