Adherence to simple and effective measures reduces the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia: [L'observation de mesures simples et efficaces reduit l'incidence de pneumonie associee a la ventilation mecanique].
Baxter AD, Allan J, Bedard J, et al. Adherence to simple and effective measures reduces the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Can J Anaesth. 2005;52(5):535-41.
The authors explored low-risk and low-cost strategies to reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). They found their inexpensive protocol to be effective in reducing incidences of VAP and submit that a multidisciplinary approach contributed to its success.
