Rosenthal V et al.

Objective: To ascertain the incidence of device-associated infections in the ICUs of developing countries.

Marin H. Kollef, MD et al. 

Objective: To synthesize the available clinical data for the prevention of hospital-associated pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) into a practical guideline for clinicians.

Peter Dodek, MD, MHSc et al.

Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is an important patient safety issue in critically ill patients.

A Survey Based on the Opinions of an International panel of Intensivists 

Objective: Adherence to clinical practice guidelines is highly variable. Our objective was to review barriers to physicians’ adherence to evidence-based guidelines (EBGs) for preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).

Deborah Cook, MD et al. 

Objective: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a serious complication of critical illness, conferring increased morbidity and mortality. Many interventions have been studied to reduce the risk of VAP. We systematically reviewed the influence of airway management on VAP in critically ill patients.
