Summary

Intensive Care Unit (ICU) acquired pneumonia, including ventilator-associated pneumonia, is a frequently occurring health-care associated infection, which causes considerable morbidity, mortality and health care costs. Important pathogens causing ICU pneumonia are Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The epidemiology of ICU pneumonia and patient-related and contextual factors is not fully described, but is urgently needed to support the development of effective interventions.

Conditions

• Pneumonia
• Pneumonia, Ventilator-Associated
• Nosocomial Pneumonia

Interventions
