We also investigated 1005 of these patients who were intubated and mechanically ventilated for a reason other than pneumonia, the risk of developing pneumonia, and the relationship between the incidence of pneumonia and the length of time during which the patients were mechanically ventilated. A bacteriologic diagnosis was made in 38% of the nosocomial and 21% of the community-acquired pneumonias. The total mortality rate was 40%; 47% of the patients with nosocomial and 17% of the patients with community-acquired pneumonias died. Because it was difficult to make an etiologic diagnosis in two-thirds of the cases, the treatment had to be based on an assumed causative organism. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/45980 | ISSN: | 0090-3493 | DOI: | 10.1097/00003246-198710000-00007 | Fuente: | Critical Care Medicine [ISSN 0090-3493],v. 15, p. 930-932 |
