In the laboratory, BAC-T/ALERT®3D Blood Culture Instrument and BACT/Alert FA (BioMérieux, Durham, NC, USA) were used for inoculation and anaerobic cultures were obtained using blood agar, MacConkey agar, chocolate agar, and Schindler’s agar. Sabouraud agar was used for fungal cultures.
Potassium, albumin, B12 and microbial culture were measured on the day of admission.

VAP was defined as new or changing chest X-ray infiltrate/s occurring more than 48 h after initiation of invasive mechanical ventilation, plus both of the following: (i) new onset of fever (body temperature ≥ 38 °C)/hypothermia (body temperature ≤ 35 °C) and/or leukocytosis (total peripheral white blood cell count ≥ 10,000 cells/µL)/leukopenia (total WBC count ≤ 4500 cells/µL)/ > 15% immature neutrophils; (ii) new onset of suctioned respiratory secretions and/or need for acute ventilator support system changes to enhance oxygenation [13 (link)].
Catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) was defined as the presence of bacteremia originating from an intravenous catheter. Microbiological samples were performed using BacT/ALERT SA (aerobic) and BacT/ALERT SN (anaerobic) bottles incubated in the BacT/Alert 3D blood culture instrument (bioMérieux, Ballerup, Denmark) [14 (link)].
Fungal infection was diagnosed as previously described [15 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
