Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine

Abstract

In the past decade, much has been learned about the diagnosis of nosocomial pneumonia. Most of these reports focused on evaluating the diagnostic reliability of different techniques and identifying an adequate gold standard. In the past year, the most outstanding studies focused on practical issues such as developing more rapid and less invasive diagnostic techniques and tools, simplifying previously standardized techniques, and searching for safer and more cost-effective procedures. Following the current trend, in the next few years we should spend more time learning about the impact of current techniques on outcome and less time looking for "El Dorado."
