  3. INFECTION CONTROL • Why at Risk? • Underlying Disease. • Drug Therapy. • Multiple Lines. • Organisms From Other Patients.

  4. VENTILATED ASSOCIATED PNEUMONIA (VAP) Nosocomial pneumonia (NP) that occurs 48 hrs of initiating CMV. Early VAP Late VAP <5 days >5 days

  5. VAP EFFECT ON STAY IN ICU. Three fold Craig CP, Conelly S; AMJ Infec Control 1984.  10-32 fold. Jimenez P. et al; Critical Care Medicine 1989.

  6. PREVENTIVE MEASURES •  Cost. •  Stay. •  Morbidity. •  Mortality.

  7. PREVENTIVE MEASURES • Conventional infection control measures. • Strategies related to GIT. • Strategies related to patient placement. • Strategies related to artificial airway. • Strategies related to mechnical ventilator.
