Potential role of report nudging on diagnosis and treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia: a quantitative survey

Diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is challenging and relies heavily on respiratory culture results. The results of this survey underscore the potential for a diagnostic stewardship nudge limiting culture reports to “potential colonization or contamination” in those without clinical...

The results of this survey underscore the potential for a diagnostic stewardship nudge limiting culture reports to “potential colonization or contamination” in those without clinical findings of VAP to decrease unnecessary antibiotic prescribing.
