Ventilator-associated pneumonia: approaching the horizon.
V entilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) continues to be a disturbing problem in the care of intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Although much progress has been achieved in the past two decades, many issues remain unresolved, and mortality still reaches 30–40% [1, 2]. In this issue of the European Respiratory Journal, two contributions are devoted to VAP. Although quite divergent in scope, they a...

Recent evidence, however, has demonstrated that the major sources of pneumonia in the ventilated patient are colonization of the gastrointestinal tract, with subsequent aspiration around the endotracheal t...
متن کاملVentilator Associated Pneumonia by Acinetobacter baumannii And antimicrobial susceptibility pattern
Background: Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is one of the serious complications of ventilator support occurring in ICUs. The aim of this study was to determine the susceptibility pattern of Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) isolated from patients with VAP by two methods: disk diffusion and E. test. Methods: This descriptive-cross sectional study was conducted in the four ICUs of Ras...
