Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Medication arm Colistin to be given as 2 millions three times daily in the inhalation form from 5 to 7 days in addition to another antipseudomonal antibiotic according to infectious disease society of antimicrobials (IDSA) guidelines from day 1 of incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia |
Drug: Colistin
Polymyxins are bactericidal drugs that bind to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and phospholipids in the outer cell membrane of gram-negative bacteria.

Active Comparator: Control arm Patients receive antipseudomonal antibiotics IV as carbapenem and quinolone or aminoglycoside according to IDSA guidelines from day 1 of incidence of Ventilator associated pneumonia carbapenem as 1g three times daily + tavanic 750mg once daily or ciprofloxacin 500mg twice daily or aminoglycoside according to renal function |
Drug: Carbapenem + Aminoglycoside/ Quinolone
Dual antipseudomonal given as IV for ventilator associated pneumonia for patients with Multi-drug resistant bacteria risk factors

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Assessment of Ventilatory status [7 to 10 days]
Pf ratio measurement
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Days of mechanical ventilation [35 Days]
Deescalation in the ventilation mode and trials until successful weaning.
- Time till the occurence of sepsis [35 Days]
long standing ventilator associated pneumonia with failure of treatment can lead to sepsis
- Mortality as an outcome of long stand untreatable ventilator associated pneumonia [35 days]
is the mortality due to sepsis of other causes
- Length of stay in the icu [35 days]
How long will the patient stay in the ICU according to failure of weaning and progression of the disease.
