Duration of Antibiotic Prophylaxis, Early-Onset Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia and Selection of Multidrug-Resistant Organisms in Mechanically Ventilated Patients with Traumatic Brain Injury: A Retrospective Cohort Study

2026-08-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> /Objectives: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the leading indication for antibiotic therapy in intensive care units (ICUs), and patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are at particularly high risk of early-onset VAP (eVAP). Antibiotic prophylaxis reduces eVAP but may exert selective pressure favouring multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms. We assessed whether prophylactic exposure e...
