About this article:"In this large population study authors derived and validated a predictive rule to develop pneumonia in coronary artery by pass graft surgery patients. The AUCs for the derivation and validation cohorts were 0.78 and 0.75, respectively. This study allows to detect patients with a high risk to develop VAP after this type of surgery and consequently to implement special measures of prevention."

About this article: "Pseudomonas and other waterborne pathogens are a frequent cause of microbial infections in critically ill patients. In the present study about a subacute care unit authors show a reduction of colonization and infection by these types of pathogens when using a point of care water filtration. Water filtration is a measure frequently overhelmed by personnel dedicated to prevent nosocomial infections."

About this article: "Continuous lateral rotation therapy is a measure that facilitates mucous clearance. In this randomized study patients were allocated to continuous lateral rotation using special beds or standard care with semirecumbent position. The incidence of VAP was significantly reduced from 23% to 11% when using lateral rotation therapy. This study confirms the utility of this measure that has the rationale of improving mucous clearance."
