Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Pneumonia, Ventilator-Associated
Colistin Adverse Reaction
Infection Due to Multidrug Resistant Acinetobacter
Infection Resistant to Multiple Drugs
Interventions
Drug: Aerosolized plus intravenous colistin
Registration Number
NCT02806141
Lead Sponsor
Hat Yai Medical Education Center
Brief Summary

This study is planned to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of aerosolized plus intravenous colistin vs. intravenous colistin as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) due to pandrugs-resistant (PDR) Acinetobacter baumannii in the neonates.

Detailed Description

This study will evaluate the neonates with VAP due to PDR-Acinetobacter baumannii who receive aerosolized plus intravenous colistin compare with intravenous colistin as adjunctive therapy. The efficacy and safety after study will be evaluated.
