Ventilator associated pneumonia or ventilator induced pneumonia
Ventilator associated pneumonia currently in vogue seems to have some pitfalls as far as the nomenclature is concerned and thus it imparts an erroneous impression to the reader. As the driving force is in fact the ventilator, the phraseology should preferably be changed to ventilator induced pneumonia to convey the in depth meaning of the term thus evading the terminology currently in practice....
متن کاملPseudomonas aeruginosa colonization enhances ventilator-associated pneumonia-induced lung injury
BACKGROUND Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) is the single-most common pathogen of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Large quantities of PA in the trachea of ventilated patients are associated with an increased risk of death. However, the role of PA colonization in PA VAP-induced lung injury remains elusive. This study examined the effect and mechanism of PA colonization in VAP-induced lung inju...

متن کاملEvaluating the fibroproliferative response to ventilator-induced lung injury
Introduction: Acute Lung Injury (ALI), and its more severe subset the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), are a major cause of mortality in the Intensive Care Unit. Mechanical ventilation, a supportive therapy necessary to sustain life in many cases, may contribute to and worsen ALI, termed Ventilator Induced Lung Injury (VILI). Fibroproliferation is an early response to lung injury . I...
متن کاملVentilator-induced lung injury.
Severe physical-trauma can lead to the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Currently, the only known treatment for ARDS is mechanical ventilation. However, if mechanical ventilation is applied inappropriately further injury and malfunction of the lungs may occur, and thus, causing a ventilator induced lung injury (VILI). VILI has several manifestations including volutraum...
