Description

La neumonía adquirida en el hospital (HAP, por sus siglas en inglés) es la infección adquirida en el hospital más frecuente en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI). Las infecciones respiratorias relacionadas con la UCI (IRRI) son muy comunes hoy en día. Además, aunque la ventilación mecánica (VM) puede salvar vidas, también conlleva riesgos y complicaciones importantes. De estos, las neumonías adquiridas en la ICU o en el hospital (ICUAP), se han asociado con una alta morbilidad, mortalidad y uso significativos de los recursos sanitarios. La forma más grave de ICUAP es cuando el paciente desarrolla una infección bajo ventilación mecánica que se denomina neumonía asociada al ventilador (VAP). Por otro lado, se cree que la traqueobronquitis asociada al ventilador (IVA) es una etapa intermedia entre la colonización del tracto respiratorio inferior y la VAP. Sin embargo, los datos más recientes sugieren que el IVA puede ser una entidad separada que puede contribuir a una mayor duración de la estancia en la UCI y una mayor duración de la ventilación mecánica. Debido a la heterogeneidad de los criterios de admisión en la UCI en toda Europa y en el mundo, la carga de infecciones respiratorias en pacientes críticos sigue siendo desconocida.Varios grupos de investigación han tenido en cuenta el concepto actual de ICUAP debido a la prevalencia creciente de la enfermedad junto con la creciente carga de resistencia a los antibióticos. Además, la cantidad de episodios de IVA e ICUAP en pacientes ventilados y no ventilados y la falta de tratamientos basados en la evidencia requieren un enfoque coordinado para la investigación y la atención clínica en Europa y el mundo. Se han lanzado varios informes a partir de datos individuales, sin embargo, no existe una red multidisciplinaria mundial para la investigación en IVA e ICUAP en pacientes ventilados y no ventilados en Europa y el mundo.Esta colaboración de investigación clínica multidisciplinaria apoyada por la European Respiratory Society (ERS) proporcionará un escenario para impulsar el descubrimiento a nivel clínico y traslacional, y ofrecerá una plataforma para las solicitudes de financiamiento de la red. El objetivo de esta colaboración es promover la investigación con orientación clínica en el campo del IRRI en Europa y el mundo mediante el intercambio de ideas, protocolos de investigación y datos entre los miembros de la red.

Layman's description

Study synopsisHospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) is the most frequent hospital-acquired infection in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). ICU-related respiratory infections (IRRI) are very common nowadays, with different approaches of acquisition. In addition, whilst mechanical ventilation (MV) is potentially lifesaving, it also carries significant risks and complications. Of these, ICUAP is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and use of healthcare resources. ICUAP more severe form is when patient develops such infection under mechanical ventilation that is called Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP). In the other hand, Ventilator-Associated Tracheobronchitis (VAT) is believed to be an intermediate stage between colonization of the lower respiratory tract and VAP. However more recent data suggests that VAT may be a separate entity that may contribute to increased length of ICU stay and longer duration of MV. Due to the heterogeneity of criteria for admission in ICU across Europe, the burden of respiratory infections in critically ill patients remains unknown. Several groups have taken into account the current concept of ICUAP due to the increasing prevalence of the disease along with the growing burden of antibiotic resistance. Moreover, the numbers of episodes of either VAT and ICUAP in ventilated and not ventilated patients and a lack of evidence-based treatments necessitate a coordinated approach to research and clinical care in Europe. Several reports have been launched from individual data however there is not a pan-European multidisciplinary networks for research in either VAT and ICUAP in ventilated and not ventilated patients in Europe.This multidisciplinary clinical research collaboration supported by the European Respiratory Society (ERS) will provide a forum to drive discovery at translational and clinical levels and provide a platform for applications for network funding. The goal of this collaboration is to promote clinically orientated research in the field of IRRI in Europe by sharing ideas, research protocols and data between members of the network.The stated aims are as follows:- To create a pan-European database of patients with ICU-related respiratory infections (IRRI) to facilitate epidemiological and clinical research and to facilitate recruitment into clinical trials- To build a network of experts in ICU-related respiratory infections (IRRI) management who will determine the need for an ERS task force and the need for an ERS ICU-related respiratory infections (IRRI) consensus statement or guidelines for diagnosis, prevention and management. - To attract new researchers into the field of ICU-related respiratory infections (IRRI) through presentations at ERS annual congress and dissemination of research priorities and knowledge. To support and encourage early career researchers through multidisciplinary training opportunities and participation at senior levels in network activities- To foster an established Pan-European multidisciplinary network for collaboration with other medical societies (European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases - ESCMID and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine - ESICM).
