Add to ORKGports the notion that bronchoalveolar la-vage (BAL) in ventilated trauma patients may improve our ability to diagnose and treat ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). We hypothesized that BAL would decrease the number of cases of VAP di-agnosed and impact our antibiotic use and ventilator days. Methods: Prospective data on all infec-tious complications were collected for pa-tients admitted to the trauma-burn servic
