Study Comparing Inhaled Amikacin Versus Placebo to Prevent Ventilator Associated Pneumonia

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Pneumonia, Ventilator-Associated
Interventions
Drug: Inhaled placebo
Registration Number
NCT03149640
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Tours
Brief Summary

The objective of the study is to prove that after the third day of invasive mechanical ventilation a three-day course of inhaled amikacin reduces the incidence of subsequent VAP.

Parallel two group double blind randomized controlled clinical trial. Individual randomization, performed on day 4 of invasive mechanical ventilation, will be stratified on centre in order to account for variations in VAP prevention bundle implementation and use of systemic antibiotics the day of randomization. Patients will be treated three consecutive days with inhaled amikacin or placebo. Patients will be followed up daily in the intensive care unit for the occurrence of VAP according to international guidelines until day 28.

To evaluate the effects on respiratory mechanics of nebulization of amikacin by evaluating the benefit balance / riskMeasurements at 8 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours after the end of nebulization

benefit : Improvement of respiratory mechanics by pharmacological effect risk : Degradation of respiratory mechanics by bronchospastic secondary effect, drug deposition in the intubation probe
