Diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia

Microbes and Infection, 2003
The diagnosis of ventilator pneumonia remains a controversial area. Use of standard clinical criteria has been found to be inadequate. Use of a clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) has improved the diagnostic utility of clinical criteria. For the intubated patient, there is ready access to the lower respiratory tract.

Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia [PDF]

, 2012
When a patient on ventilatory support develops new shadows in the chest X-ray along with fever and leukocytosis after 48 h of intubation, it is suggestive of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). This occurs in 9–27% of intubated patients. The risk increases with the duration of mechanical ventilation.
