Besides being one of the mechanisms responsible for ventilator-induced lung injury, atelectasis also seems to aggravate the course of experimental pneumonia. In this study, we examined the effect of reducing the degree of atelectasis by natural modified surfactant and/or open lung ventilation on bacterial growth and translocation in a piglet model of Group B streptococcal pneumonia. After creat...
To evaluate the clinical outcomes of pneumococcal pneumonia caused by antibiotic-resistant strains in Asian countries, we performed a prospective observational study of 233 cases of adult pneumococcal pneumonia in 9 Asian countries from January 2000 to June 2001. Among 233 isolates, 128 (55%) were not susceptible to penicillin (25.3% were intermediately susceptible, and 29.6% were resistant). C...
Mechanical ventilation is the defining event of intensive care unit (ICU) management. Although it is a life saving intervention in patients with acute respiratory failure and other disease entities, a major goal of critical care clinicians should be to liberate patients from mechanical ventilation as early as possible to avoid the multitude of complications and risks associated with prolonged u...
OBJECTIVE To determine how the patient to nurse ratio affects risk for ventilator-associated pneumonia. METHODS Data from an earlier study in 27 intensive care units in 9 European countries were examined in a secondary analysis. The initial cohort included 2585 consecutive patients who had mechanical ventilation (1) after admission for treatment of pneumonia or (2) for more than 48 hours irre...
INTRODUCTION Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a common complication of mechanical ventilation. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of designed respiratory care program on incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in the mechanically ventilated patient. METHODS In this clinical trial, 64 patients were selected among those who had undergone mechanical ventilation in the ICU of Al...
BACKGROUND Nosocomial pneumonia has correlated to dental plaque and to oropharynx colonization in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. The interruption of this process, by preventing colonization of pathogenic bacteria, represents a potential procedure for the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). METHODS The study design was a prospective, randomized trial to verify if o...
patients and methods a cross-sectional study was conducted at icus of imam-reza and vali-asr hospitals, birjand, iran. sampling was done through a census in which 53 icu nurses participated. descriptive statistics, kolmogorov-smirnov test, mann-whitney u tests and kendall's correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data. results a total of 53 nurses participated in this study. most of th...
BACKGROUND Ventilator-associated pneumonia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of mechanical (toothbrushing), pharmacological (topical oral chlorhexidine), and combination (toothbrushing plus chlorhexidine) oral care on the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia in critically ill patients receiving mechanical ventilation. METHODS Cr...
BACKGROUND Respiratory failure remains the leading indication for admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) and a leading cause of death for HIV-infected patients in spite of overall improvements in ICU mortality. It is unclear if these improvements are due to combination anti-retroviral therapy, low tidal volume ventilation for acute lung injury, or both. A study was undertaken to identify th...
Objectives: To examine the occurrence of pneumonia linked with a ventilator in neonatal intensive care unit and to determine related risk factors. Purpose study: better identify associated morbidity mortality, pathophysiology, recommended measures avoid this disease, paediatric VAP diagnosis methods must become more standardized exact. Study design: A cross-sectional study Place Duration: This ...
