Abstract
Purpose: This pilot study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of high-dose ampicillin/-sulbactam and colistin combination therapy for treating ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) in the pediatric intensive care unit of Pusan National University Children's Hospital. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 17 pediatric patients VAP with caused by CRAB from June 2017 to August 2018. 10 (58.8%) patients were treated with high dose ampicillinsulbactam and colistin combination (combination therapy group), and 7 were treated with colistin only, or various combination of with or without colistin (other antibiotics group). Clinical and bacteriological outcome were compared between groups. Results: The mean duration of fever after antibiotic use was 1.30±1.70 days in the combination therapy group and 1.71±1.49 days in the other antibiotics group. The mean duration of days for negative conversion of endotracheal aspirate bacterial culture after Pediatr Infect Vaccine. 2020 Apr;27(1):e5 https://doi.org/10.14776/piv.2020.27.e5 pISSN 2384-1079·eISSN 2384-1087
