Risk factors for ventilator-associated pneumonia in trauma patients with torso injury: a retrospective single-center study

Journal of International Medical Research, 2021
Objective We aimed to identify the risk factors for ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients admitted to critical care after a torso injury. Methods We retrospectively evaluated 178 patients with torso injury aged >15 years who were intubated in the ...

Ventilator associated pneumonia

Journal of Pediatric Critical Care, 2019
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most frequent hospital-acquired infections occurring in intubated patients. Because VAP is associated with higher mortality, morbidity and healthcare costs, there is a need to solicit further research ...

Ventilator-associated pneumonia [PDF]

Journal of Hospital Infection, 2004
Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the most common nosocomial infection. Mortality rates, morbidity, and costs are all increased in the patient with VAP, and every measure should thus be taken to prevent its development. There are several clearly defined risk factors for VAP, and awareness of these can facilitate early diagnosis and hence treatment. In

Relationship between ventilator bundle compliance and the occurrence of ventilator-associated events: a prospective cohort study

BMC Nursing, 2022
Background Instead of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), the modern definition of ventilator-associated events (VAEs) has been introduced to identify infectious and noninfectious respiratory complications. Some studies revealed that compliance to the

Ventilator-associated pneumonia in the ICU [PDF]

Critical Care, 2014
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is defined as pneumonia that occurs 48–72 hours or thereafter following endotracheal intubation, characterized by the presence of a new or progressive infiltrate, signs of systemic infection (fever, altered white blood cell count), changes in sputum characteristics, and detection of a causative agent [1].

Health‐related quality of life following total minimally invasive, hybrid minimally invasive or open oesophagectomy: a population‐based cohort study

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
All patients operated for oesophageal cancer in Sweden from 2013 to April 2018 were identified, and 246 patients were recruited to this population‐based nationwide Swedish study. The results show that longitudinal health‐related quality of life after minimally invasive oesophagectomy was similar to that of the open surgical approach.

Nebulized colistin in ventilator-associated pneumonia and tracheobronchitis : historical background, pharmacokinetics and perspectives

, 2021
Clinical evidence suggests that nebulized colistimethate sodium (CMS) has benefits for treating lower respiratory tract infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (GNB). Colistin is positively charged, while CMS is negatively charged,

Update on ventilator-associated pneumonia [PDF]

F1000Research, 2017
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most frequent life-threatening nosocomial infection in intensive care units. The diagnostic is difficult because radiological and clinical signs are inaccurate and could be associated with various respiratory diseases. The concept of infection-related ventilator-associated complication has been proposed as a
