Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Nebulization with 0.9% normal saline  The allotted patients will receive either nebulization with 0.9% normal saline once a day for 3 days prepared by an investigator in a 5 mL syringe labeled as ‘study drug’. Disposable vibrating mesh nebulizer will be placed in the inspiratory limb of the ventilatory circuit. Duration of intervention will be three days. 
Intervention  Nebulization with amikacin  The allotted patients will receive either nebulization with amikacin (amikacin at a dose of 20 mg per kilogram of ideal body weight) once a day for 3 days prepared by an investigator in a 5 mL syringe labeled as ‘study drug’. Disposable vibrating mesh nebulizer will be placed in the inspiratory limb of the ventilatory circuit. Duration of intervention will be three days. 
Intervention  Nebulization with colistin  The allotted patients will receive nebulization with colistin (colistimethate sodium, 1.5M IU, diluted in water for injection) once a day for 3 days prepared by an investigator in a 5 mL syringe labeled as ‘study drug’. Disposable vibrating mesh nebulizer will be placed in the inspiratory limb of the ventilatory circuit. Duration of intervention will be three days.

Brief Summary  

To study the effect of prophylactic nebulization of antibiotics on  VAP reduction in an ICU with multidrug resistant bacteria, patients >18 years and requiring mechanical ventilation duration for >72 hours (total 156 patients), will receive either  nebulization with colistin (colistimethate sodium, 1.5M IU, diluted in water for injection) or with amikacin (amikacin at a dose of 20 mg per kilogram of ideal body weight) or with an equivalent volume of 0.9% normal saline once a day for 3 days prepared by an investigator in a 5 mL syringe labeled as ‘study drug’. Disposable vibrating mesh nebulizer will be placed in the inspiratory limb of the ventilatory circuit.  Complications if any will be noted. Data will be compiled and appropriate statistical test will be applied to analyse the result. The study results may be used to provide recommendation regarding the use of prophylactic antibiotics for VAP prevention particularly in the setting with prevalent multi-drug resistant bacteria.
