Infectious complications in the intensive care unit (ICU) are associated with higher morbidity, mortality, and increased health care use. Here, we report the results of implementing 2 different models (open vs closed) on infectious complications in the ICU. The...

Reduction of ventilator-associated pneumonia in the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit: a multimodality prevention and testing protocol.

Journal of neurosurgical sciences

Johnson M, Rocque B, Kamps T, Medow J.
PMID: 24091431
J Neurosurg Sci. 2013 Dec;57(4):293-6.

AIM: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a serious concern for patients in the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit (NSICU). The risks to patients are significant and the monetary costs are astronomical. We review a multimodality approach that substantially reduced VAP rate...

Literature suggests that cancer patients can become colonized or infected with a variety of opportunistic and health care-associated pathogens, putting them at higher risk for nonventilator health care-associated pneumonia. This section will review the epidemiology of nonventilator health care-associated...
