Application of Different Sampling Methods Combined with Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing to Detect Pathogens in Children with Severe Pneumonia on Mechanical Ventilation
Abstract:Objective
The aim of this study was to explore the value of applying different sampling methods combined with metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) to detect pathogens in children with severe pneumonia on mechanical ventilation.
Methods
Forty children with severe pneumonia on mechanical ventilation were selected, and routine endotracheal suctioning and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) sampling methods were performed. The diagnostic efficacy of different sampl… Show more
