Description
Ventilator
associated
pneumonia
is
a
major
Hospital
Acquired
Infection
(HIA)
occurring
patients
on
mechanical
ventilators
.
Prevention
of
ventilator
associated
pneumonia
(VAP)
is
one
of the
top
priorities
for
all
health
care
institutions
and
health
care
workers
should
take
the
responsibility
to
prevent
the
infection
to
provide
quality
care
for
patients
. This
project
focus
on the
causes
of
VAP
in
mechanically
ventilated
patients
in
Pediatric
Intensive
Care
Unit
(PICU)
and
explores
the
different
prevention
strategies
. The
key
objective
of this
project
is
to
implement
standard
VAP
care
bundle
to
decrease
VAP
among
PICU
patients
and
thus
lessen
the
length
of
hospital
stay
,
health
care
cost
,
mortality
and
morbidity
associated
with
VAP
. The
proposed
solution
is
to
improve
the
knowledge
level
of the
multidisciplinary
team
in
PICU
through
educational
preparation
there by
improve
the
adherence
of
standard
bundle
practice
with the
supporting
evidence
of
Lewin’s
change
theory
.
Because
of
poor
immunity
in
critically
ill
children
,
mechanically
ventilated
patients
develop
bacterial
colonization
of
oropharynx
;
stomach
and
sinus
meticulous
oral
hygiene
is
essential
to
prevent
aspiration
of
secretion
containing
microorganism
to
lungs
causing
VAP
(Cooper
&
Haunt
,
2013)
.
Different
review
literature
shows
VAP
bundle
practice
is
the
best
recommended
practice
for
VAP
prevention
and the
key
factor
is
improving
the
knowledge
level
of the
multidisciplinary
team
working
in
PICU
. The
occurrence
of
VAP
is
a
serious
health
issue
which
cause
adverse
effects
for the
healthcare
system
and
increases
the
burden
on the
patients
.
