Abstract

The FilmArray Pneumonia Panel has proven to be an effective tool for rapid detection of main respiratory pathogens. However, its rational use needs appropriate knowledge and formation regarding its indication and interpretation. Herein, we provide some advices to help with success of its daily routine use, particularly in critically ill ventilated COVID-19 patients. Clinical Trial registration number: NCT04453540.
