Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia [PDF]
, 2010 The area of the alveolar epithelium of the lung is approximately 70 m(2). This area is constantly in contact with the ambient air and is therefore vulnerable to contamination with airborne microbes and particles of respirable size. Due to the configuration of the respiratory tract, airborne particles having diameters in the range of 0.5-2.0 μ can reach
