Aerosolized Plus Intravenous Colistin Compared With Intravenous Colistin for Adjunctive Treatment of Ventilator-associated Pneumonia Due to Pandrugs-resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii in the Neonates: Randomized Controlled Trial

This study is planned to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of aerosolized plus intravenous colistin vs. intravenous colistin as adjunctive therapy for the treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) due to pandrugs-resistant (PDR) Acinetobacter baumannii in the neonates.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study will evaluate the neonates with VAP due to PDR-Acinetobacter baumannii who receive aerosolized plus intravenous colistin compare with intravenous colistin as adjunctive therapy. The efficacy and safety after study will be evaluated.
