Abstract Background : Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) continues to be a clinically important hospital-acquired infection. prospective surveillance study found that VAP prevalence was 15.6% globally (13.5% in the United States, 19.4% in Europe, 13.8% in Latin America, and 16.0% in Asia Pacific) (1). VAP has a close association with increased attributable deaths (2). Among the most common causes of VAP are antibiotic-resistant bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and non-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria (P. resistant strains). (3). This is in contrast to higher rates of VAP reported internationally (1, 4). An important explanation for this discrepancy regarding nationally reported rates of VAP is the method of surveillance employed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention surveillance method markedly underestimates the occurrence of clinically and microbiologically confirmed VAP (4). METHODS: • Check list • Flow chart Conclusion :- IMPROVE HEALTH CARE. • The aim to Establishment of quality standards tools to reduce the risk of Ventilator association pneumonia . • Implementation of policy and procedures for Reducing The Risk Of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia . | ||||
