The aim of the study was to assess whether a customised guideline implementation would improve ventilator-associated pneumonia incidence and associated intensive care outcomes. This was a quasi-experimental, be
Invasive mechanical ventilation is a risk factor for the development of pneumonia,1, 2 being the ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) a public health problem. VAP is a hospital-acquired pneumonia which occurs in patients who were subjected to invasive mechanical ventilation, whether through tracheostom...
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is pneumonia that develops 48 hours or longer after mechanical ventilation is given by means of an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy.[1]Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) results from the invasion of the lower respiratory tract and lung parenchyma by microorganis...
