Abstract
The Critical Illness Stress-Induced Immune Suppression prevention trial was a randomized, masked trial of zinc, selenium, glutamine, and metoclopramide compared with whey protein in delaying nosocomial infection in PICU patients. One fourth of study subjects were diagnosed with nosocomial lower respiratory infection, which contributed to subjects receiving antibiotics 74% of all patient days in the PICU. We analyzed diagnostic and treatment variability among the participating institutions and compared outcomes between nosocomial lower respiratory infection subjects (n = 74) and intubated subjects without nosocomial infection (n = 1 55). Post hoc analysis. Eight hospitals in the Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network. Critical Illness Stress-Induced Immune Suppression study subjects. None. Variability across institutions existed in the frequency and manner by which respiratory secretion cultures were obtained, processed, and results reported. Most results were reported semiquantitatively, and both Gram stains and antibiotic sensitivities were frequently omitted. The nosocomial lower respiratory infection diagnosis was associated with increased PICU lengths of stay compared with those who were intubated without no...Continue Reading
