Overview
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common ICU-acquired infection in patients requiring mechanical ventilation. VAP remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in mechanically ventilated patients and is associated with longer ICU and hospital stay, prolonged mechanical ventilation and increased costs. The aim of the article is to give a systematic review of evidence-based methods of VAP prevention, focused on new facts reported since 2006.
Keywords:
ventilator-associated pneumonia – VAP – VAP prevention

- A 39-year patient with a severe haemorrhagic-traumatic shock due to a gunshot, with a left-sided penetrating chest wound resulting in haemothorax, pneumothorax and massive blood loss was treated in the Czech Field Hospital ROLE 2 plus after a terrorist attack in Kabul. The initial Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) of 13 points improved thanks to damage control surgery and adequate perioperative care to 5 points, increasing the chance of survival from 5% to 80%. The patient was transported to his homeland on the 3rd postoperative day where he recovered.
