full textVentilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP)
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a pulmonary infection that occurs more than 48 hours after patients have been intubated and received mechanical ventilation. The incidence of VAP ranges from 6 to 52% and can reach 76% in some specific settings [1]. The incidence depends on several factors, the duration of mechanical ventilation, reintubation, supine position, advanced age and altered co...

tubation. During spontaneous breathing without an artificial airway (normal breathing), an open airway is a prerequisite for breathing. This fact is violated in clinical practice. When we evaluate a patient for extubation (a transition to breathing without an artificial airway), we frequently evaluate the breathing pattern first and then decide if the patient can keep the airway open. We believ...
full textDoes Re-intubation Increased Risk of Ventilator- Associated Pneumonia (VAP) in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Patients?
Introduction:ventilator- associated pneumonia(VAP),as defined by the centers for disease control and prevention (CDC),is a pneumonia that occurs in a patient receiving mechanical ventilation that develops 48 hours or more after initiation of ventilation.re-intubation which occur within 72 hours of planned extubation may effect VAP incidence.the aim of this study was to determine VAP incidence i...

The management of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) presents many difficulties because of the heterogeneity of the disease; the way the immunocompromised host and the aggressive ICU environment interact is only partially discovered, the available biomarkers for diagnosis are not sufficient to ensure prompt differentiation between sick patients and patients at risk, the microbiological cultu...
