890VAP to VAE: Exploring the Epidemiology of a New Surveillance Definition
Background. Due to concerns about the subjectivity and inter-rater reliability of the surveillance definition for VAP (ventilator-associated pneumonia), a more objective outcome measure, VAE (ventilator-associated event), was released in 2013. We examined the epidemiology of the traditional VAP and new VAE measures in 6 adult intensive care units (ICUs) and hypothesized that VAE rates would be ...
متن کاملShould Ventilator-Associated Events become a Quality Indicator for ICUs?
The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention replaced their longstanding ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) definitions with ventilator-associated event (VAE) definitions in 2013. Controversy abounds as to whether VAE definitions are potentially suitable to serve as quality indicators for ICUs. On the pro side, VAE definitions overcome many of the weaknesses of traditional VA...

متن کامل880Incidence rates of ventilator-associated events and ventilator-associated pneumonia in the National Healthcare Safety Network, 2012-2013
Background. Surveillance for ventilator-associated events (VAEs) is based on detecting conditions associated with increased oxygen or positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) settings. In 2013 the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) replaced traditional ventilator-associated pneumonia (tVAP) with VAE surveillance in adult inpatient units. In August 2013 a minor PEEP criterion change was ma...
متن کاملDoes ventilator-associated event surveillance detect ventilator-associated pneumonia in intensive care units? A systematic review and meta-analysis
BACKGROUND Ventilator-associated event (VAE) is a new surveillance paradigm for monitoring complications in mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care units (ICUs). The National Healthcare Safety Network replaced traditional ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) surveillance with VAE surveillance in 2013. The objective of this study was to assess the consistency between VAE surveillance...
