Excerpt

In spite of important progress in the field of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) pathophysiology and prevention, this infection is still commonly diagnosed in critically ill patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation. Recognizing ineffective measures for VAP prevention is helpful to avoid side effects of these interventions and to reduce associated costs and workload in the intensive care unit (ICU). …
