Epidemiological and microbiological analysis of ventilator-associated pneumonia patients in a public teaching hospital

Epidemiological and microbiological analysis of ventilator-associated pneumonia patients in a public teaching hospital

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most commonly-acquired infection in patients in intensive care units. We analyzed epidemiological and microbiological characteristics and the outcome, in a cohort of critically-ill patients with confirmed diagnosis of VAP. All patients who had been on mec...
