Prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia in adults
Ventilator-associated pneumonia, broadly defined as pneumonia that develops after 48 hours of intubation, is a common mechanical ventilation complication that causes significant morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Prevention strategies are continually evolving to decrease the impact of this serious and costly disease.
متن کاملPrevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is an important source of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. Many interventions are touted to prevent VAP but studies supporting these interventions are difficult to interpret owing to an exceedingly poor correlation between clinical diagnosis of VAP and the presence of an invasive pneumonia. There is consequently a risk that purported decr...
متن کاملPrevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia
Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the commonest, yet mostly preventable, infection in mechanically ventilated patients. Successful control of ventilatorassociated pneumonia can save hospitalisation cost, and is possible by using a multidisciplinary clinical and administrative approach. The ventilatorassociated pneumonia rate should be expressed as the number of ventilator-associated pneumonia ...

Objectives; To assess the clinical and cost effectiveness of prophylactic antibiotics, body position, kinetic bed therapy and care bundles for the prevention of ventilator associated pneumonia. Data sources; Searches of main electronic databases were conducted in April and June 2007. Review methods; Systematic reviews and randomised controlled trials were included if they had the interventions ...
متن کاملPrevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia.
Invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) represents a risk factor for the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), which develops at least 48h after admission in patients ventilated through tracheostomy or endotracheal intubation. VAP is the most frequent intensive-care-unit (ICU)-acquired infection among patients receiving IMV. It contributes to an increase in hospital mortality, dur...
