Conventional endotracheal tubes versus polymer-coated tubes in ventilator-associated pneumonia development: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Introduction: Endotracheal tubes (ETT) are used in patients who require ventilatory support. Colonization of ETTs by microorganisms is associated with developing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).
