Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) can develop when a patient is on a ventilator. VAP can be treated with antibiotics. There are ways to reduce the risk of a patient contracting VAP.

2023年9月4日 · Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) occurs in patients that have been on mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. It presents with clinical signs that include purulent tracheal discharge, fevers, and respiratory distress in the presence of microorganisms.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a type of lung infection that occurs in people who are on mechanical ventilation breathing machines in hospitals.

2016年7月14日 · These guidelines are intended for use by healthcare professionals who care for patients at risk for hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), including specialists in infectious diseases, pulmonary diseases, critical care, and surgeons, anesthesiologists, hospitalists, and any clinicians and healthcare ...

The treatment of non-ventilator-associated HAP (nvHAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) will be reviewed here. The diagnosis, epidemiology, pathogenesis, microbiology, risk factors, and prevention of nvHAP and VAP are discussed separately.

2020年10月1日 · VAP, the most common and fatal nosocomial infection of critical care, is a new pneumonia that develops after 48 hours of endotracheal intubation. Importantly, by the time of VAP onset, patients may have already been extubated.

2025年1月22日 · Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a lung infection that occurs in people who are on mechanical ventilation through an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube. It typically develops 48 hours or more after intubation. VAP is a serious concern in intensive care units, increasing patient morbidity and mortality.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) develops at least 48 hours after endotracheal intubation. The most common pathogens are gram-negative bacilli and Staphylococcus aureus; antibiotic-resistant organisms are an important concern.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most frequent ICU-acquired infections. Reported incidences vary widely from 5 to 40% depending on the setting and diagnostic criteria. VAP is associated with prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia is defined as pneumonia occurring more than 48 h after patients have been intubated and received mechanical ventilation. Diagnosing VAP requires a high clinical suspicion combined with bedside examination, radiographic examination, and microbiologic analysis of respiratory secretions.
