Summary

Clinical Impact on Point-of-Care Multiplex PCR Testing for Critically Ill Adult Patients With Community-acquired Pneumonia - A cluster randomization study in ICU units within one medical center.

Detailed description

Point-of-Care Multiplex PCR Testing could narrow down the pathogens causing severe community-acquired pneumonia(CAP). Our hypothesis is that the result of Point-of-Care Multiplex PCR Testing could help primary physician to reduce antibiotics use.
