Abstract
In order to assess potential risk factors for pneumonia within the first 8 d of ventilation, we studied 83 consecutive intubated patients undergoing continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions (CASS). Multivariate analysis showed the protective effect of antibiotic use (relative risk [RR] = 0.10; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.01 to 0.71), whereas failure of the CASS technique (RR = 5.29; 95% CI = 1.24 to 22.64) was associated with a...
