Accuracy of ventilator-associated events for the diagnosis of ventilator-associated lower respiratory tract infections [PDF]

Annals of Intensive Care, 2020
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the concordance between ventilator-associated events (VAE) and ventilator-associated lower respiratory tract infections (VA-LRTI), and their impact on outcome.

Reductions in ventilator-associated events following implementation of a ventilator-associated pneumonia diagnostic stewardship intervention: A difference-in-difference study. [PDF]

Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol
In this post hoc analysis of a quasi-experimental pilot/feasibility trial, a bundled diagnostic stewardship intervention safely reduced respiratory culturing rates without increasing ventilator-associated events (VAEs).

Increasing rates of ventilator-associated events: Blame it on COVID-19? [PDF]

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology, 2023
Background: Rates of ventilator-associated events (VAEs), including infection-related ventilator-associated complications (IVACs) and probable ventilator-associated pneumonia (PVAPs) have increased nationwide since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The epidemiology and clinical outcomes of ventilator-associated events among 20,769 mechanically ventilated patients at intensive care units: an observational study [PDF]

Critical Care, 2021
Background Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common hospital-acquired infection (HAI) in intensive care units (ICUs). Ventilator-associated event (VAE), a more objective definition, has replaced traditional VAP surveillance and is now ...

Clinical implications of the newly defined concept of ventilator-associated events in trauma patients [PDF]

Journal of Trauma and Injury, 2022
Purpose Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the most common nosocomial infection in patients with mechanical ventilation. In 2013, the new concept of ventilator- associated events (VAEs) replaced the traditional concept of ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Evaluation of the applicability of the current CDC pediatric ventilator-associated events (PedVAE) surveillance definition in the neonatal intensive care unit population [PDF]

BMC Pediatrics, 2022
Background There is limited data on pediatric ventilator-associated events (PedVAE) in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) setting, since the CDC mandated state reporting of these events in January 2019. This study sought to describe PedVAE rates and
