Results

Antimicrobial choices proposed by the Guideline based algorithm and the Gram stain based algorithm were appropriate in 94.7% and 92.4% of cases, respectively. McNemar's test showed no significant difference in adequacy for the different strategies (p = 0.221). The Gram stain based algorithm proposed anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus agents in significantly fewer episodes than the Guideline based algorithm (41 (31.3%) versus 92 (70.2%), respectively (p < 0.001)). The Gram stain based algorithm also recommended antipseudomonal agents in significantly fewer episodes than the Guideline based algorithm (68 (51.9%) versus 92 (70.2%), respectively (p < 0.001)).

Other related information

To evaluate whether Gram stain of endotracheal aspirate was a reliable guide for the selection of antimicrobial therapy for VAP, we constructed 2 hypothetical empirical antimicrobial treatment algorithms: a guidelines-based algorithm (GLBA) and a Gram stain-based algorithm (GSBA). Both the GLBA and the GSBA were hypothetically applied to the same VAP episodes and the antimicrobial agents proposed by each algorithm were compared retrospectively. Therapy was considered appropriate when all pathogens involved in the VAP episode were covered by antimicrobial agents.
