Hospital-acquired pneumonia in ICU
The French Society of Anesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine and the French Society of Intensive Care edited guidelines focused on hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) in intensive care unit (ICU). The goal of 16 French-speaking experts was to produce a framework enabling an easier decision-making process for intensivists. The
guidelines were related to 3 specific areas related to HAP (prevention, diagnosis and treatment) in
4 identified patient populations (COPD, neutropenia, postoperative and pediatric). The literature analysis and
the formulation of the guidelines were conducted according to the Grade of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation methodology
