CD000000-0000XX 13 © 2009 TMIT The Problem Frequency  Reported to range from 1 to 4 cases per 1,000 ventilator days  May exceed 10 cases per 1,000 ventilator days in special populations, such as pediatric and surgical patients  VAP occurs in 8% to 28% of mechanically ventilated patients [Edwards, Am J Infect Control 2007 Jun;35(5):290-301; NNIS, Am J Infect Control 2004 Dec;32(8):470-85]

14. © 2006 HCC, Inc. CD000000-0000XX 14 © 2009 TMIT The Problem Severity  Mortality rate of 14.4%  Presence of nosocomial pneumonia prolonged the length of mechanical ventilation by 10.3 days and mean ICU unit length of stay by 12.2 days [Klevens, Public Health Rep 2007 Mar-Apr;122(2):160-6; Levinson, Adverse events in hospitals: state reporting systems, 2008; Koulenti, Crit Care Med 2009 Aug;37(8):2360-8]

15. © 2006 HCC, Inc. CD000000-0000XX 15 © 2009 TMIT The Problem Preventability  Reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation by assessing patients daily  Maintain patients in semi-recumbent position, with a 30°-45° of elevation of the head of the bed  To reduce bacterial colonization, provide oral care with an antiseptic agent [Tablan, MMWR Recomm Rep 2004 Mar 26;53(RR-3):1-36; ATS/IDSA, Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2005 Feb 15;171(4):388-416; Dellinger, Crit Care Med 2005;9(6):653-4; Resar, Jt Comm J Qual Patient Saf 2005 May;31(5):243-8; Panchabhi, Chest 2009 May;135(5):1150-6; Segers, JAMA 2006 Nov22;296(20):2460-6; Sona, J Intensive Care Med 2009 Jan-Feb;24(1):54-62]

16. © 2006 HCC, Inc. CD000000-0000XX 16 © 2009 TMIT The Problem Cost Impact  Hospitalization costs were $48.9K higher in patients with VAP, and length of hospitalization 25 days longer  Hospital costs due to VAP range from $19.6K to $28.5K in 2007 dollars  Pediatric patients admitted to PICU had a mean additional hospitalization cost of $30.9K [Warren, Crit Care Med 2003; 31: 1312-7; Foglia, Clin Microbiol Rev 2007 Jul;20(3):409-25; Scott, The direct medical costs of healthcare-associated infections in US hospitals and the benefits of prevention, 2009]
