Therapy of Ventilator-associated Tracheobronchitis Caused by Gram Negative Bacteria With Nebulized Colistin

Phase 3
Conditions
Bronchitis
Interventions
Drug: Inhaled colistin
Registration Number
NCT02619786
Lead Sponsor
Mahidol University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether inhaled colistin is effective in the treatment of ventilator associated tracheobronchitis due to gram negative organism susceptible to colistin.

Detailed Description

Patients diagnosed ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis due to gram negative organism are included to the study.The patients will be received colistin inhalation 75 mg every 12 hours at least 5 days.

The primary objective is to evaluate clinical outcome of inhaled colistin. The secondary objectives are microbiological clearance and toxicity of inhaled colistin.

The sample size was estimated to 62 patients.
