VAE surveillance enables facilities to identify a broad range of complications related to mechanical ventilation.

The VAE surveillance definition algorithm developed by the Working Group and implemented in the NHSN in January 2013 is based on objective, streamlined, and potentially automatable criteria that identify a broad range of conditions and complications …

2024年12月26日 · The Calculator is a web-based tool that is designed to help you learn how the VAE surveillance definition algorithm works and assist you in making VAE determinations. Please note that the VAE Calculator will not ask you to enter any patient identifiers (other than dates of mechanical ventilation, which you can change as you see fit).

2023年10月18日 · Welcome to the Ventilator-Associated Event Calculator. Version 10.0 operates based upon the currently posted VAE protocol. It is strongly encouraged that you read and study the VAE protocol. The calculator recognizes PEEP values ≤ 5 and corrects entries according to the VAE protocol prior to making a VAC determination.

The purpose of this document is to highlight practical recommendations to assist acute care hospitals to prioritize and implement strategies to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), ventilator-associated events (VAE), and non-ventilator hospital-acquired pneumonia (NV-HAP) in adults, children, and neonates.

2019年3月19日 · Welcome to the Pediatric Ventilator-Associated Event Calculator. Version 1.0 operates based upon the currently posted PedVAE protocol. It is strongly encouraged that you thoroughly review the PedVAE protocol.

This approach, termed “ventilator-associated event” (VAE) surveillance, was designed to capture an array of noninfection- and infection-related events in patients receiving mechanical

The new classification of ventilator-associated events (VAE) proposed by the centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) enhance the spectra of complications due to MV including both infection-related and non-infectious events.

VAE: This event is available for in-plan surveillance of mechanically ventilated inpatients in adult locations only (regardless of the age of the patient). Pediatric and neonatal locations are excluded from VAE surveillance (even in circumstances where a …

2015年2月1日 · Rationale: The CDC introduced ventilator-associated event (VAE) definitions in January 2013. Little is known about VAE prevention. We hypothesized that daily, coordinated spontaneous awakening trials (SATs) and spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs) might prevent VAEs. Objectives: To assess the preventability of VAEs.
