    Change of bacterial load in upper airway

  2. Ventilated associated pneumonia [ Time Frame: 1 month ]
    Percentage of patients developing ventilated pneumonia (VAP)

  3. Days to extubation [ Time Frame: 1 month ]
    Number of days patient is intubated

  4. Days to discharge [ Time Frame: 1 month ]
    Number of days patient is discharged

  5. Change in C-reactive protein [ Time Frame: 5 days ]
    Change in C-reactive protein

  6. 7-point clinical outcome [ Time Frame: 1 month ]
    Change in 7-point clinical outcome: 7- Death, 6-Hospitalized on ventilatory or ECMO, 5-Hospitalized on non-invasive ventilation, 4-Hospitalized on supplemental O2, 3-Hospitalized not on O2, 2-Not hospitalized but with limitations, 1-Not hospitalized and no limitations

  7. Catheter tip assessment [ Time Frame: 5 days ]
