Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most frequent ICU-acquired infection. 1–3 It is associated with significant increases in the length of stay, healthcare costs and both crude and attributed mortality. 4–7 Therefore, potential functional, mechanical and pharmacological prevention measures of VAP have frequently been investigated ...
Among nosocomial pneumonias, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) develops in intensive care unit (ICU) patients who have been mechanically ventilated for at least 48 h. Patients with severe nosocomial pneumonia who require mechanical ventilation during their treatment after the onset of infection do not meet the definition of VAP.
8 de ene. de 2016 · Ventilator‐associated pneumonia (VAP) is associated with increased mortality, prolonged length of hospital stay and increased healthcare costs in critically ill patients. Guidelines recommend a semi‐recumbent position (30º to 45º) for preventing VAP among patients requiring mechanical ventilation.
22 de feb. de 2022 · For preventing VAP, a semi-recumbent position (i.e., elevation of the head of bed to 30–45°) has been extensively studied as a simple strategy for patients undergoing MV and is a recommendable measure in several clinical practice guidelines [8, 10–12].
Nosocomial pneumonia is a frequent infection that is classified into two groups [ 1 ]: HAP, which develops in hospitalised patients after 48 h of admission, and does not require (but may include) artificial ventilation at the time of diagnosis [ 2, 3 ]; and VAP, which occurs in intensive care unit (ICU) patients who have received mechanical vent...
Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is defined as pneumonia occurring in a patient within 48 hours or more after intubation with an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube and which was not present before. Early onset VAP occurs within 48 hours and late onset VAP beyond 48 hours of tracheal intubation.
4 de sept. de 2023 · Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) occurs in patients that have been on mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. It presents with clinical signs that include purulent tracheal discharge, fevers, and respiratory distress in the presence of microorganisms.
