“…57 In a metaanalysis of RCTs, Falagas et al 13 reported that aerosolized antibiotics reduced the rate of VAP but had no effect on mortality and concluded that there is insufficient evidence to assess the effect on bacterial colonization. However, this analysis included older prophylactic studies with different delivery systems and different rates of baseline incidence of MDR pathogens, which may not represent the current epidemiology and ecology of patients with VAP.…”

“…[4][5][6] Forty years ago, studies were published suggesting that aerosolized polymyxins administered to critically ill subjects could decrease the rate of nosocomial bronchopneumonia. 7,8 The technique, however, was abandoned due to the development of antibiotic resistance and questionable efficacy and/or frequent adverse events.…”

“…Estudos admitem, como maior efeito adverso para a administração de antibióticos inalatórios a seleção de cepas antibiótico-resistentes, porém estes trabalhos correlacionam esse fato com o uso profilático, 11 sugerindo ser minimizado o problema com a alternância de drogas 12,13 . Thys, Aoun & Klastersky, em 1994, descreveram esta resistên-cia como rara e transitória, ocorrendo apenas após muitos meses de uso contínuo.…”
