Ventilator-associated Pneumonia
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2014 Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is an iatrogenic pulmonary infection that develops in tracheally intubated patients on mechanical ventilation for at least 48 hours. VAP is the nosocomial infection with the greatest impact on patient outcomes and health care costs.

Ventilator-associated Pneumonia
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2002 Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) continues to complicate the course of 8 to 28% of patients receiving mechanical ventilation (MV). In contrast to infections of more frequently involved organs (e.g., urinary tract and skin), for which mortality is low, ranging from 1 to 4%, the mortality rate for VAP ranges from 24 to 50% and can reach 76% in some ...
