Rapid automated microscopy for microbiological surveillance of ventilator-associated pneumonia

Diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is imprecise. To (1) determine whether alternate-day surveillance mini-bronchoalveolar lavage (mini-BAL) in ventilated adults could reduce time to initiation of targeted treatment and (2) evaluate the potential for automated microscopy to reduce ana...
