Bacterial superinfection, as well as ventilation associated pneumonia (VAP), are both frequent events in critical care. During the COVID-19 pandemic, usual diagnostic practices such as bronchoalveolar lavage and tracheal aspirate are limited due to their associated high risk of exposure for the operator. In order to set primary focus on the protection of health care personnel, a modified tracheal aspiration (M-TA) technique was developed and used for acquiring microbiological samples from the lower respiratory tract using a closed suction device. |
