OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to determine whether an education initiative could decrease the hospital rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia. DESIGN Pre- and postintervention observational study. SETTING Five intensive care units in Barnes-Jewish Hospital, an urban teaching hospital. PATIENTS Patients requiring mechanical ventilation who developed ventilator-associated pneumoni...
background and objectives: the frequency of multi-drug resistant acinetobacter spp . infections is increasing in iran. considering availability of limited therapeutic options, clinical response and outcome of ventilator-associated pneumonia due to multi-drug resistant a.baumannii were evaluated in critically ill patients. materials and methods: in this prospective study, 29 patients with carbap...
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of the International Nosocomial Infection Control Consortium's multidimensional approach on the reduction of ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients hospitalized in intensive care units. DESIGN A prospective active surveillance before-after study. The study was divided into two phases. During phase 1, the infection control team at...
Introduction: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common nosocomial infection reported among mechanical ventilation patients in intensive care units(ICU). Ventilator-associated pneumonia is associated with increased morbidity, mortality hospital, length of stay and health care costs. Oral health can be compromised by critical illness and by mechanical ventilation and thus, it dete...
We evaluated the use of pressure support to compensate for the added inspiratory work of breathing due to the resistances of endotracheal tubes and a ventilator demand-valve system for continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). A mechanical model was used to simulate spontaneous breathing at five respiratory rates through 7-mm, 8-mm, and 9-mm endotracheal tubes with and without a ventilator de...
BACKGROUND The Tyvaso Inhalation System is a hand-held nebulizer system used to administer treprostinil, an approved therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension. Our goal was to establish an in vitro method for delivering a standard dose of treprostinil through a ventilator circuit and artificial airway. METHODS An AeroTech II jet nebulizer (continuous air flow at 10 L/min; Biodex Medical Sys...
BACKGROUND Frequent ventilator circuit changes are expensive and sometimes unnecessary. Following the worldwide trend to lengthen the intervals for ventilator circuit change from 2 days to 1 week, this study aims to assure that low rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) can be maintained with cost containment. METHODS Ventilator circuits were routinely changed every 7 days in the study...
OBJECTIVE To assess adherence to a ventilator care bundle in an intensive care unit and to determine the impact of adherence on the rates of ventilator-associated pneumonia. METHODS A total of 198 beds were assessed for 60 days using a checklist that consisted of the following items: bed head elevation to 30 to 45º; position of the humidifier filter; lack of fluid in the ventilator circuit; o...
