Brief Summary

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is an infection of the pulmonary parenchyma in patients exposed to invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 48 h and is part of ICU-acquired pneumonia. VAP is one of the most frequent ICU-acquired infections. Reported incidences vary widely from 5 to 40%, depending on the setting and diagnostic criteria. The estimated attributable mortality of VAP is around 10%. Investigators will focus this study on the current understanding of the epidemiology and treatment of VAP caused by multi-drug resistant (MDR) organisms. The MDR organisms are significant threats to the prognosis of the ICU patient. They are challenging to treat because of a limited number of newer antibiotics available for treatment. Understanding their distribution and sensitivity pattern may provide clues on how to deal with this significant problem. The current study examines the distribution of MDR organisms in VAP and its incidence and outcome. Investigators will also study the sensitivity pattern of these MDR organisms and how it affects the patient outcome. All patients admitted to adult ICU will be scanned, positive respiratory cultures will be noted, and those with VAP will be studied in detail. Patient data will be collected using the hospital information system.

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

All adult patients (\>13 years) admitted to ICU on a ventilator at a tertiary level center were scanned. Those who developed VAP with MDR organism (after 48 hours of ventilation and with new cultures after the initial negative culture) were labeled as MDR VAP cases. The remaining ventilated patients were considered to calculate VAP rate.

You may qualify if:

  • Adult patients (more than 13 years old) admitted to ICU (covid/non-covid) (for VAP rate)
  • Patient who got intubation and mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours (for VAP0
  • Positive MDR bacterial respiratory culture for defining MDR VAP

You may not qualify if:

  • Non-ventilated patients.
  • Patient with tracheobronchitis
  • Patients positive for fungal cultures
  • Patients with pneumonia before intubation
  • Non-MDR VAP
