2023年9月4日 · Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a term used to describe pneumonia (lung infection) that develops in a patient who has been on mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the second most common hospital-acquired infection among pediatrics and neonatal intensive care unit patients.

pneumonia (VAP) and other healthcare-associated pneumonias are important, common healthcare-associated infections, but national surveillance for VAP has long been a challenge because of the lack of objective, reliable definitions. Due to these challenges, in January 2013 the National Healthcare Safety

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most frequent ICU-acquired infections. Reported incidences vary widely from 5 to 40% depending on the setting and diagnostic criteria. VAP is associated with prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay.

2015年6月1日 · Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most serious treatment-related infections resulting in high mortalities and costs. Our hospital has implemented bundle care in the intensive care units (ICUs) with special focus on VAP prevention. This is a retrospective study to evaluate its efficacy.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common healthcare-associated infection (HAI) in adult critical care units. 1 It is associated with increased intensive care unit (ICU) stay, patient ventilator days, and mortality. 2 VAP is thought to increase the mortality of the underlying disease by ∼30%. 3 At present, there is no consensus ...

The Ventilator Bundle is an effective method to reduce VAP rates in ICUs. The ventilator bundle should be modified and expanded to include specific processes of care that have been definitively demonstrated to be effective in VAP reduction or a specific VAP …

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most commonly encountered hospital-acquired infections in intensive care units and is associated with significant morbidity and high costs of care. The pathophysiology, epidemiology, treatment and ...

2006年2月1日 · Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common nosocomial infection in the ICU. Patients who acquire VAP have higher mortality rates and longer ICU and hospital stays. Because there are other potential causes of fever, leukocytosis, and pulmonary infiltrates, clinical diagnostic criteria are overly sensitive in the diagnosis of VAP.

2023年9月4日 · Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a term used to describe pneumonia (lung infection) that develops in a patient who has been on mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the second most common hospital-acquired infection among pediatrics and neonatal in …

Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) • Up to 46% of patients with VAP die • Varies with patient population and organism type • Highest mortality occurs in patients with severe illness and infection with non-fermentative gram-negative bacilli (e.g., Acinetobacter or Burkholderia species) • Increases ICU length of stay >6 days
