"Summary the Bullet:
- Among patients revived from shockable out-of-hospital arrest, a two-day course of amoxicillin-clavulanate reduced the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia.
- This is a multi-center, placebo-controlled RCT with no major methodological flaws. It’s not statistically unassailable, but it represents the best available evidence on the topic.
- It is reasonable to change practice based on this study (while simultaneously maintaining an open mind on the topic and awaiting additional data)."
