1 Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is defined as a pneumonia occurring in patients under mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours and characterized by the presence of a new or progressive infiltrate, signs of systemic infection (temperature, blood cell count), changes in sputum characteristic...
Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) may be prevented in a patient, or its occurrence reduced in a population of patients, by using an anti-VAP device or an anti-VAP material. By reducing the problem of bacterial-containing secretions that otherwise build up in the airway of the intubated pat...
