Reducing ventilator-associated pneumoniain intensive care: Impact of implementing a care bundle.

The article presents a study on the effects of implementing a bundle of care on ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) patients. The researchers used a before-and-after structure to analyze the effects of implementing a VAP prevention bundle. The elements of the bundle include subglottic secretion drainage and chlorhexidine mouth care. They found that the bundle of care using the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) approach was connected with a sustained reduction in VAP incidence.
