As a result of this tension between excessive and inappropriate antibiotics, there has been considerable focus on trying to improve diagnostic processes in patients with suspected ventilator-associated pneumonia, aiming to return accurate results rapidly to the bedside to enable faster, more precise decision-making. Systematic review of studies investigating ventilator associated pneumonia diagnostics in intensive care. The most common infective complication in ICU remains ventilator-associated pneumonia, with an incidence of between 5% and 40% of patients depending on unit, country and diagnostic standard used [[3]].
