Abstract
CBI isolation occurred at 11 days on average (rank 7-18) of remaining patients connected to mechanical ventilation. The average length of patients on mechanical ventilation was 36 days (range 10-140). The average ICU stay was 49 days (range 14-180). There was no death at 28 days, but the intra-hospital mortality was 2 cases (25%). Nosocomial respiratory infection secondary to CBI in mechanically ventilated patients has increased in recent years, so that should be included in the differential diagnostic of NAMV.
