Performance Study of Targeted Sequencing Technology for VAP

The investigators plan to include 150 VAP patients in the ICU. Lower respiratory tract samples (BALF) from VAP patients were routinely tested and tNGS tested, and clinical information was collected. Routine clinical tests include culture (necessary), microscopic examination, serology, PCR, etc., and drug sensitivity tests are performed on positive culture samples as required. Finally, the consistency of tNGS test results with clinical culture, comprehensive diagnosis and drug sensitivity results was compared. The uniformly negative or inconsistent samples were further verified by PCR and mNGS.
