Risk of Pneumonia in Intubated Patients in Emergency Situations

Orotracheal intubation in emergency medicine is a vital procedure for ensuring adequate oxygenation and ventilation in patients with respiratory distress or in shock. However, this procedure exposes patients to complications such as pneumonia. In the matter of fact, the urgency of the procedure means that it is not possible to wait until the patient's stomach is empty. Pneumonia significantly increase patient morbidity and mortality. Therapeutic management must be early and appropriate to improve the patient's prognosis.

The aim of this study is to compare the rate of pneumonia occurring in patients intubated in emergency situations with that in patients intubated in non-emergency situations in all 2024. Health data will only collected from patient's medical records.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Pneumonia rate in 48 hours after the start of orotracheal intubation.

    Time frame: Hour 48

    Rate of pneumonia occuring within 48 hours of the start of orotracheal intubation.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pneumonia rate occuring 48 hours after the start of orotracheal intubation.

    Time frame: 3 months

    Rate of pneumonia occuring more than 48 hours after the start of orotracheal intubation.

  2. Duration of mechanical ventilation

    Time frame: Up to the end of mechanical ventilation (assessed up to 1 month)

    Duration of mechanical ventilation

  3. Duration of stay in intensive care

    Time frame: Up to intensive care discharge (assessed up to 1 month)

    Duration of stay in intensive care

  4. Duration of hospital stay

    Time frame: Up to hospital discharge (assessed up to 3 months)

    Duration of hospital stay

  5. Mortality rate

    Time frame: Inclusion + 1 year

    Mortality rate

  6. Type of bacteria responsible for pneumonia

    Time frame: The day of the diagnosis of pneumonia (assessed up to 1 month)

    The bacterial species responsible for pneumonia will be identified using biological samples (blood, urine, bronchial secretions) taken from patients in both groups. The identification of bacterial species will be carried out in the laboratory.

  7. Type of antibiotic administered for pneumonia

    Time frame: Up to the last day of antibiotic treatment (assessed up to 3 months)

    Type of antibiotic administered for pneumonia in each group

  8. Antibiotic doses administered for pneumonia

    Time frame: Up to the last day of antibiotic treatment (assessed up to 3 months)

    Comparison of antibiotic doses in g or mg administered in each group

  9. Duration of antibiotic treament for pneumonia

    Time frame: Up to the last day of antibiotic treatment (assessed up to 3 months)

    Duration of antibiotic treament for pneumonia in each group
