Preanesthetic medication in children: a comparison of oral transmucosal fentanyl citrate versus placebo.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) requires early diagnosis and adequate antibiotic therapy. The aim of this prospective postmortem study was to assess the accuracy of direct examination and quantification of intracellular organisms (ICO) for the diagnosis of VAP. METHODS:Total and differential cell coun...
