Ventilator Acquired PneumoniaNCT00332982
Ontario ICU Clinical Best Practices Demonstration Project
A study testing Focused knowledge translation strategies in people with Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia and Catheter Related Blood Stream Infections, run by Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre at 1 site in Canada.
Trial summary
The pragmatic issue at hand how to get physicians and nurses to use best practices… and how to measure consequences of their implementation. This is the science of "knowledge translation", which we are realizing is an "organic" entity. Read more about this study

About this study
The pragmatic issue at hand how to get physicians and nurses to use best practices… and how to measure consequences of their implementation. This is the science of "knowledge translation", which we are realizing is an "organic" entity. As part of our Critical Care Strategy our goal is to improve the quality and continuity of critical care within our health care system. Toward this goal we are implementing a program which links 16 Ontario hospitals through their critical care units in a Provincial Network.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Focused knowledge translation strategies in people with Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia and Catheter Related Blood Stream Infections, run by Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre at 1 site in Canada.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Relative risk of receiving best practices in the ICU.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00332982, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
