Reports from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Advance Knowledge in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (Untargeted Blood Lipidomics Analysis in Critically Ill Pediatric Patients with Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia: A Pilot Study).

The article focuses on research from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki examining the potential of blood lipid profiles for diagnosing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in critically ill pediatric patients. Topics include the use of untargeted lipidomics analysis to identify lipid species associated with VAP, the differentiation of blood lipid profiles between high and low VAP suspicion groups, and the correlation of specific lipids with microbial causes of VAP.
