What is VAP? A Nosocomial pneumonia
associated with mechanical ventilation (either by Endotracheal tube or Tracheostomy) that develops within 48 hours or more of hospital admission and which was not present at the time of admission.

EPIDEMIOLOGY• Hospital acquired pneumonia (HAP) is the second most common hospital infection.
• VAP is the most common intensive care unit (ICU) infection.• 90% of all nosocomial infections occurring in ventilated patients are pneumonias.
•Added costs of $40,000 - $50,000 per stay

INCIDENCE VAP occurs in 10 - 65% of all
ventilated patients Crit Care Clin (2002)
Incidence increases with duration of MV
3% /day for first 5days, 2%/day for 6-10days and 1%/day after 10 days.
Mortality rate is 27% &43%with antibiotic resistant organism. critical care societies collaborative(CCSCs)
Mortality rate in VAP caused by Pseudomonas or Acinetobacter is as high as 76% Crit Care Med (2004)

PATHOGENESIS Bacteria enter the lower respiratory
tract via following pathways: Aspiration of organisms from the
oropharynx and GI tract (most common cause)
Direct inoculation Inhalation of bacteria Haematogeneous spread

HOW DO WE DIAGNOSE? 2-1-2 Radiographic evidence x 2 consecutive
days New, progressive or persistent infiltrate Consolidation, opacity, or cavitation
Clinical sings At least 1 of the following:
Fever (> 38 degrees C) with no other recognized cause
Leukopenia (< 4,000 WBC/mm3) or leukocytosis (> 12,000 WBC/mm3)
At least 2 of the following: New onset of purulent sputum or change in
character of secretions New onset or worsening cough, dyspnea, or
tachypnea Rales or bronchial breath sounds Worsening of gas exchange (↓ sats, P:F ratio <
240, ↑ O2 req.)

Risk Factors for drug resistance ABX in last 14 days Prior culture with MRO Immunocompromised Chronic primary lung pathology Acute or long term care
hospitalization within 14 days Tracheostomy for > 5 day
05/02/2023 15
DURATION OF TREATMENT- Depends on severity,
- Time to clinical response and micro organism response- Isolation of microorganism- Longer duration >14-21days risk of toxicity and resistance - Shorter duration<7days- risk of recurrence-standard duration of treatment 7-14 days- Longer durtion 14-21 days may be indicated in Multilobular involvement, cavitation, gram-ve necrotising pneumonia, isolation of Pseudomonas, Acnetobacter

EFFECT OF VAP BUNDLE CARE
VAP RATE UPTO 65%VAP BUNDLE: HOB elevation between 30-
45degree, DVT prophylaxis,
Stress ulcer prophylaxis, Daily interruption of sedation,
Daily oral care with Chlorohexidine
VAP rate reduced by
44.5%
05/02/2023 18PREVENTION
Care Bundle A care bundle is …... “A systematic method of
measuring and improving clinical care processes based on groups of care elements for particular diagnoses and procedures”

Ventilator Associated Pneumonia Care Bundle -Evidence Based Practices
Head Of Bed elevated to 30˚-45˚
Daily sedation vacation &daily assessment of readiness to wean
DVT Prophylaxis Stress Ulcer Prophylaxis Subglottic secretion drainage Daily mouth care with
chlorhexidine05/02/2023 20
1.HOB UP 30 DEGREES OR HIGHER
Recommended elevation is 30-45 degrees
If semi-recumbent or supine 34% incidence VAP
↑HOB → ↓risk of aspiration of gastrointestinal contents
↓risk of aspiration of oropharyngeal secretions
↓risk of aspiration of nasopharyngeal secretions
↑HOB improves patients’ ventilation Supine patients have lower spontaneous tidal volumes on PS than those seated in upright position ↑HOB may aid ventilatory efforts and
minimize atelectasis
05/02/2023 21
HOB Elevation > 30 Degrees on all Intubated
Ventilated Patients Contraindications Hypotension MAP <70 Tachycardia >150 CI <2.0 Central line procedure Posterior circulation strokes Cervical spine instability use
reverse trendelenburg Some femoral lines ie: IABP
no higher than 30 degrees use reverse trendelenburg
Increased ICP, No higher than 30 degrees avoid hip flexion

2.Daily “Sedation Vacation” and Daily Assessment of
Readiness to Wean Correlated with reduction in rate
of VAP Sedation vacation results in
significant reduction in time on mechanical ventilation
Duration of mv decreased from 7.3 days to 4.9 days-study by Kress et al. (NEJM 2000)
Weaning is easier when patients are able to assist themselves at extubation with coughing and control of secretions
05/02/2023 23
Conti…. Allow the patient to wake. If the patient is co-operative and able to
understand commands leave the sedation off.
Distressed or agitated patients require re-sedating.
Administer boluses as appropriate to achieve safety.

3.Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD)
Prophylaxis It is an appropriate intervention in all
sedentary patients Critically ill intubated patients lack
the ability to defend their airway Decreasing pH of gastric contents
may protect against greater pulmonary inflammatory response to aspiration of gastrointestinal contents
2505/02/2023
More on PUD Prophylaxis
Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines reviewed literature on PUD prophylaxis:
“H2 receptor inhibitors are more efficacious that sucralfate and are the preferred agents. Proton Pump Inhibitors have not been assessed in direct comparison with H2 receptor antagonists and, therefore their relative efficacy is unknown. They do demonstrate equivalency in ability to increase gastric pH.”
2605/02/2023
4.Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Prophylaxis
Higher incidence of DVT in critical illness
Risk of venous thromboembolism is reduced if prophylaxis is consistently applied
TARGET: patients undergoing surgery, trauma patients, acutely ill medical patients, and ICU patients
2705/02/2023
5.Subglottal Suctioning
Should be done using a 14 Fr sterile suction catheter:Prior to ETT rotationPrior to lying patient supine
Prior to extubation 2805/02/2023
Suctioning In line suction:
Maintain closed systemUse separate suction tubing
Normal saline:Should not be routinely used to suction pts
Causes desaturationDoes not increase removal of secretions
Can potentially dislodge bacteriaShould be used to rinse the suction catheter after suctioning

Best Practices to Achieve a High Level
of Compliance in ICUs Daily Multi-disciplinary Rounds including:
Head Nurse(Unit in-charge)Reg.Nurse assigned to patientClinical Pharmacist / Pharmacy ResidentsInfection Control SpecialistRespiratory TherapistRegistered DieticianNurse Case ManagerSpeech TherapistNursing student / Instructor
Use of Ventilator Bundle Audit Tool addressing the bundle items daily
3105/02/2023
The best method to prevent healthcare acquired infections including VAP is to practice good Hand Hygiene including use of
Antimicrobial soap and water Alcohol Based Hand Rub (Isagel)
when there is no visible soiling on hands

HAND HYGIENE
05/02/2023
Compliance with Isolation Precautions
Stringent adherence to the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as Gowns, Masks, Gloves will decrease the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms to ventilated patients when patients are identified as requiring Contact and Droplet Precautions
3305/02/2023
Enteral Feedings Early enternal feeding decrease
bacterial colonization and rate of VAP
Bolus feeding should be avoided to minimize the risk of aspiration
Elevate HOB 30 - 45 degrees Routinely verify tube placement No CDC recommendations for:
Preferential use of small bore tubes Continuous versus intermittent feeding Post pyloric placement CDC (2003)
05/02/2023 34
PATIENT TURNING-
Routine turning of patient for every 2 hrs increase pulmonary drainage and decrease the risk of VAP.Use of beds with continues lateral rotation can decrease the incidence of pneumonia but do not decreases mortality or duration of MV (critical care 2002;30(9):1983-1986)
05/02/2023 35
No Data to Support These Strategies• Use of small bore versus large
bore gastric tubes• Continuous versus bolus feeding• Gastric versus small intestine tubes.• Closed versus open suctioning methods.• Kinetic beds.

SUMMARYNosocomial pneumonia and especially VAP are the most frequent infectious complications in the ICU, and they significantly contribute to morbidity and mortality. VAP is an important determinant of ICU and hospital lengths of stay and healthcare costs.
No standard to diagnose.
Several simple preventive measures(VAP bundle) and timely initiation of appropriate antibiotics ensure better outcomes in patients with VAP.
