The objective of this study is to measure how the use of Film-Array Pneumonia (FA-PNEU) on respiratory samples of adult patients suspected of acute care pneumonia in the intensive care unit of Saint-Luc University Hospital can accelerate / improve the initiation of the optimal antibiotic treatment.
The main objective of this trial is to confirm/attest/prove the following statement:
The use of the FilmArray Pneumonia panel on respiratory samples of critically ill suspected with pneumonia, enables a faster microbiological pneumonia diagnosis and an improved therapeutic management of the patient.
2,044 studies on the registry are indexed under Pneumonia; 283 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 300 is above the median of 106 across 1,247 interventional studies indexed under Pneumonia.
