However, in the subgroup of intubated patients the incidence of bacterial pneumonia was 43.9% (95% CI 31.0–56.8%), half community acquired and half nosocomial. As clinical signs are not helpful in identifying these patients, tracheal aspirates have to be investigated microbiologically on a routine basis in order to start antibiotics in time. ER -
