Tracheobronchitis Prevention Trial

Summary

We aim to study whether the use of inhaled antibiotics may have an impact on the incidence of tracheobronchitis and pneumonia associated with the use of mechanical ventilation. The investigators hypothesize that this could be possible by decreasing the population of gram negative germs that colonize the lumen of tracheal tube and upper airways.
