    Ventilator Associated Pneumonia Case Study

    Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is defined as pneumonia that develops 48 hours or longer after patients has intubated and received mechanical ventilation. An infection may develop if microscopic organisms or germs invade the intubation of the patient’s lower respiratory tract and lung parenchyma (Koenig, S. M., 2006). According to the 2009 National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) report, the accountability for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) preventions includes hospital’s CEO and senior management. They must assure that the hospital supports an infection prevention and control program to adequately prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). They must also ensure that proper training and educational programs are in place to…

The objective of the study was to develop a ventilator bundle and care practices for prevention and reduce the rates of VAP. It was developed by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement and the results found that critical-care nurses adherence to the bundle practices improved patient outcomes and reduced…

    Ventilator associated pneumonia

    Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is a hospital acquired infection occurs in the intensive care unit (ICU) for the patients who are on mechanical ventilator. It further complicates the hospital course by extending the length of stay, increase the cost of treatment, and increases the mortality rate. It is estimated that about 1% to 3% patients on mechanical ventilator develops VAP per day. Compared to the previous years, the Chlorhexidine mouth care and other ventilator bundle strategies decreased the VAP rate. Evidence based research studies proved that almost 89.7% reduction in VAP occurs after the implementation of ventilator bundle and other care related to it (Hutchins et al, 2009). Ventilator care bundle was introduced in 2005 by the Institute of Healthcare Improvement with the aim to increase nursing compliance with evidenced-based actions to decrease the VAP rate (Sedwick et al, 2012).…

    Hospital-Acquired Infection

    There is variability in CLASBI surveillance because surveillance definitions contain both objective and subjective elements which can complicate judgment (Lin &Bonten, 2012). Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAPs) are clinically more difficult to diagnose as there are several conditions that can mimic it, and also because common definitions contain subjective elements that require an assessor’s judgment, like any change in sputum, increased respiratory secretions, increase or change in suctioning, etc (Lin &Bonten, 2012). Ways to manage assessment bias include blinding the assessor and using objective outcome measures which include mortality, length of stay, antimicrobial use and use of an automated system to perform infection surveillance (Lin &Bonten,…

    Nursing Profession Of Evidence Based Practice

    The ventilated population is at risk for VAP 48 hours after intubation and the risk is increases by 1% with each day a patient is intubated (O’keefe-McCarthy, 2006). Orophargneal colonization of bacteria and its relocation in the subglottic area, pooling around the Endotracheal Cuff - has been associated with the increase incidence of VAP (O’keefe-McCarthy, 2016). According to O’keefe-McCarthy’s, one recommendations or strategy to prevent VAP was oral decontamination, by use of mechanical technique of oral care by use toothbrush and oral suction with use of chlorhexidine. Research has been studied in 353 cardiac patients using chlorhexidine rinse, which has decrease incident of respiratory infections by 69% in this trial (O’keefe-McCarthy, 2006). This evident is recommended for critical care nursing who work with intubated patient, by adopting protocols or making it a part of plan of care by initiating frequent oral care using chlorhexidine and use of suctioning. By employing this recommendation, as a nurse, it shortens a patient’s stay in the hospital, decreases mortality rate associated with VAP, and reduces health care costs. In other words, quality of care is being provided to intubated patients who are at risk for…
