Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the leading cause of infection in intensive care units (ICU) is associated with high mortality rates, longer hospital stay and higher costs. Among patients using mechanical ventilation around 10-20% develop this infection. There are simple steps that when applied together appear to be favorable in reducing rates of this infection. Objective: To evaluate the impact of a protocol for prevention of VAP incidence of this infection, mortality, duration of mechanical ventilation and length of hospital stay in two ICUs. Method: Patients admitted to the ICU of Pneumology and ICU of Cardiovascular Surgery (UPOCC) of a university hospital underwent a daily protocol for prevention of VAP between January 1 to De...
