U.S., Aug. 20 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07129174) titled 'Pulmonary Microbiota Changes and Clinical Outcomes in Neurosurgical ICU Patients With Artificial Airways' on Aug. 02.
Brief Summary: After neurosurgery, many patients need to stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and use a breathing machine (mechanical ventilation) because of issues like decreased consciousness, weak breathing, or poor airway protection. During this period, the natural balance of bacteria in the lungs-known as the lung microbiota-can be disturbed by surgery, antibiotics, and airway procedures. This may reduce healthy bacteria and allow harmful bacteria to grow, increasing the risk of lung infections such as ventilat...
