Ventilator Associated Pneumonia Case Study Video
Managing Hospital Acquired Pneumonia / Ventilator Associated Pneumonia in the ICU Ventilator Associated Pneumonia Case Study
Objectives: To study the incidence, etiology and risk factors associated with ventilator associated pneumonia VAP in children.
Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted on patients admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit PICU of a tertiary care institute of North India, from June through Marchwho received mechanical ventilation for more than 24 h. Chest radiograph and microbiologic samplings were performed in children suspected to have VAP.
Risk factors associated with VAP were calculated by doing bivariate and multivariate analysis. The incidence of ventilator associated tracheobronchitis VAT was found to be Conclusions: Ventilator associated pneumonia Associxted an important complication in children receiving mechanical ventilation in PICU and Gram negative bacilli Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas being the important causative agents.
Ventilator associated tracheobronchitis is an emerging entity; recognition and treatment of same might prevent the development of VAP.
