Region Norrbotten

Indikationer

Trakealsug, art.nr 12291. Obs! Ej bomullspinne.
Om förvaring oundviklig, +4oC.

Metoder

• Mikroskopi
• Kvantitativ odling.

Prov, som innehåller företrädesvis skivepitelceller, odlas ej.
Växt av minst 108 cfu/L signifikant, mindre besvaras "Ingen bakterieväxt".

Svarstid

3-7 dagar.

Kommentar

Metoden ger god korrelation med BAL och borstprov. Vid ventilatorpneumoni med <72 h intubering är S. pneumokocker, S. aureus och Haemophilus typiska fynd, vid senare debut ökar gram-stavar som Pseudomonas och Acinetobacter.
