Ventilator-associated pneumonia [PDF]
Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2009 Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the main nosocomial infection in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Despite numerous advances in the understanding of this disorder, the incidence rate continues in an unacceptable range. In this review, we discuss some important findings of recently published studies on diagnosis, prevention and ...

Ventilator-associated events criteria in the assessment of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (IMPACTO MR-PAV): A prospective cohort [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Infectious DiseasesBackground: Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is a critical healthcare-associated infection, but no universal surveillance standard exists. In 2013, the CDC revised its criteria, incorporating Ventilator-Associated Events (VAEs) with VAPs as a subset.

Experimental ventilator-associated pneumonia: distribution of lung infection and consequences for lung aeration [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2003 Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) has been described in humans and in experimental animals. The most severe lesions are located in dependent lung segments along a sterno-vertebral axis, however the cephalocaudal distribution of lung infection remains
