OBJECTIVES The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shifted the focus of surveillance paradigm for adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation, moving from the current standard of ventilator-associated pneumonia to broader complications. The surveillance definitions were designed to enable objective measures and efficient processes, so as to facilitate quality improvement initiatives ...
Introduction: Changing position is one of the typical nursing care in intensive care units. This study aimed to investigate the effect of body positioning on intra-abdominal pressure and endotracheal tube cuff pressure and their relationship with each other in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation Materials and Methods: This was a before-after clinical trial study performed on 70 patients ...
Introduction: Ventilator-associated pneumonia is one of important factors of morbidity and mortality in critical care units, associated with hospitalization day’s and increased cost of treatment. Thus prevention through identifying related factors must be highly recommended Objective: This study is conducted by the aim of determining the nurses understanding of physician-nurse relation...
This paper presents and compares three volume sensors to be used in mechanical ventilators developed laboratory: sensor based on the Pitot tube, Venturi tube infrared(IR) sensor. The were calibrated tested with a ventilator Pressure-controlled Ventilation (PCV) mode. maximum pressure changed, keeping textitPositive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) respiratory rate fixed. For each value: value mea...
Background: Quality control procedures vary considerably among the providers of equipment for home mechanical ventilation (HMV). Methods: A multicentre quality control survey of HMV was performed at the home of 300 patients included in the HMV programmes of four hospitals in Barcelona. It consisted of three steps: (1) the prescribed ventilation settings, the actual settings in the ventilator co...
Abstract Background and Objective: Bacterial colonization in upper respiratory airways is one of the major risk factors for the development of the ventilator–associated pneumonia (VAP), which is the most common and serious hospital-acquired infection in intensive care unit (ICU). The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of oropharyngeal microorganisms of patients with tracheal t...
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...
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...
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...
