Summary

Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is associated with increased hospitalisation, increased health care cost and high morbidity and mortality. The incidence of VAP increases with duration of mechanical ventilation. There is limited data especially from India on the incidence of VAP and also the role of subglottic aspiration in its prevention. The aim of this study is to determine the role of subglottic suction in the incidence of VAP.

Conditions

  • Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia

Interventions

DEVICE

SSD tube

The SSD tube allows the suction of subglottic secretions that collect above the cuff of the endotracheal tube
