Review Paper: The Bed Incline and Prevention of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia

Background: Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is the most common nosocomial (hospital acquired) infection among patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. It increases mortality rate, duration of mechanical intubated ventilation, and hospitalization in the Intensive Care Units (ICUs). This review study aims to determine the proper gradient of a hospital bed in preventing VAP in patients ho...

Incidence, risk factors and prognosis of nosocomial pneumonia in adult patients admitted in the intensive care unit

Introduction: Hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) is the second most commonly reported hospital infection and the most common infection in the intensive care unit (ICU). Identification of risk factors and determinants of prognosis in the occurrence of HAP and ways of prevention can be effective in reducing the incidence and mortality of these infections. In this way, we investigated, the incidenc...

Strategies for the Prevention of Ventilator-associated Pneumonia in the Intensive Care Units: A Review

Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) accounts for 80%-90% of hospital-acquired pneumonia cases in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). VAP occurs 48-72 hours after intubation, and is observed in 27%-29% of patients with endotracheal tube, and its risk increases with the increase in the duration of mechanical ventilation. In this review study, papers published from 1996-2018 were used to investigate st...
