INTRODUCTION
Nosocomial pneumonia pneumonia
acquired while in a hospital
From the Latin word nosocomium:
“hospital”
Classically divided into:
Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP)
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)
Recently has also been applied to health
care–associated pneumonia (HCAP)
Mandell, Douglas and Bennett’s Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases 8th Ed. 2015
INTRODUCTION
HAP is the leading cause of death among
HAIs, with estimates of HAP-associated
mortality ranging from 20 to 50%
Systematic review of published studies
found attributable mortality rate of 13%
for VAP Melsen et al. Attributable mortality of ventilator-associated pneumonia: a meta-analysis of
individual patient data from randomised prevention studies. Lancet Infect Dis. 2013 Aug;13(8):665-71
INTRODUCTION
Most cases of HAP occur outside of intensive care
units.
Highest risk for HAP is in patients on
mechanical ventilation (ie, VAP)
Steady decline in reported VAP rates in the US,
VAP from 0.0 to 4.4 per 1000 ventilator days
depending on the patient care location in 2012 2012 NHSN Annual Report
DEFINITIONS

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Histologic hallmark of VAP is heterogeneity
Lesions vary significantly in age and
severity
Dependent areas > nondependent areas
Different organisms can be cultured from
different lung segments of the same patient
in 25% to 37% of cases
Cultures of histologically benign–appearing
lung segments are often positive.
Mandell, Douglas and Bennett’s Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases 8th Ed. 2015
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Ventilated patients prone to repeated
microaspirations around the ET cuff
Microbiologic, structural, and humoral
factors combine to increase the risk of
pneumonia in critically ill patients
Mandell, Douglas and Bennett’s Principles and Practice of Infectious Diseases 8th Ed. 2015
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Flora of the oral tract
rapidly shifts from
community respiratory
organisms (Strep,
Haemophilus) toward
“hospital-associated”
pathogens (S. aureus,
Enterobacteriaceae,
Pseudomonas, &
Acinetobacter sp.)
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Likelihood of
organisms being drug
resistant steadily
increases with time in
a hospital, exposure to
antimicrobials, and
severity of illness.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
OGT/NGT disrupt lower esophageal
sphincter + increase risk of aspiration of
gastric contents
ET disrupts normal ciliary clearance of
bronchial secretions + impairs patients’
capacity to cough.
Secretions pool above ET cuff and
intermittently seep around folds in the cuff,
particularly if the cuff is underinflated or if it
shifts during patient movement or
repositioning.
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Biofilm begins to form both inside and
outside the endotracheal tube within a day of
placement and serves as a bacterial reservoir
within the trachea and oropharynx.
Suctioning or instillation of aerosols through
the endotracheal tube can mobilize and
embolize bacteria from the biofilm into the
lungs.

PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
Critical illness, poor nutrition, and
immobilization may increase patients’
susceptibility to infection.
These factors interact and reinforce with one
another to enhance the risk of
microaspiration and the likelihood that
pulmonary parenchymal colonization will
lead to invasive infection.
Lifted from Oliveira et al. Prevention of Ventilator associated pneumonia 2014
RISK FACTORS
RISK FACTORS
Factors that enhance risk of
aspiration increase the likelihood
of infection!!!
RISK FACTORS
Factors Examples
Mechanical factors •Emergency intubation,
reintubation, duration of
intubation
•Supine positioning
•Enteral feeding with OGT/NGT
•Use of paralytic agents
•Underinflation of ET cuff
Mental Status •CNS disease
•Level of consciousness
•Level of sedation
RISK FACTORS
Factors Examples
Bacterial bioburden
in the upper
respiratory and
orogastric tracts
•Duration of hospitalization
•Nasogastric intubation
•Prolonged antibiotic
exposures
•Use of PPIs or other gastric
acid suppressants
Increased handling
or breaking of the
ventilator circuit
Inhaled β-agonist therapy
RISK FACTORS
Factors Examples
Patient factors •Age > 70 yrs
•Preexisting lung disease
•Severity of illness
•Surgical patients, (burn and
trauma) higher VAP rates than
medical patients
Others •Intensive care staffing levels
•Transportation out of ICU for
diagnostic imaging or procedures
PREVENTION
Most prevention strategies are designed to
decrease volume of regurgitant secretions or
decrease the bacterial burden in and around
oropharynx and ET, or both
Many interventions lower VAP rates, but few
improve concrete outcomes such as duration of
ventilation, ICU length of stay, or hospital
mortality
PREVENTION BUNDLES
PREVENTION BUNDLES
Grouping multiple interventions together into
VAP prevention “bundles” may enhance their
effectiveness by exploiting synergies between
interventions or by enhancing their visibility,
immediacy, and hence performance by frontline
providers.
VAP prevention bundles have become a standard
of care in most hospitals

PREVENTION BUNDLES
Involve implementation of various measures in
an attempt to reduce the incidence of VAP among
at risk patients
Measures often include educational programs,
technical measures, surveillance, and feedback
Practical way to enhance care
PREVENTION BUNDLES: EVIDENCE
Eight practices: hand hygiene, glove and gown
compliance, elevation of the head of the bed, oral
care with chlorhexidine, maintaining an ET cuff
pressure >20 cm H20, orogastric rather than
nasogastric feeding tubes, avoiding gastric
overdistention, and eliminating nonessential
tracheal suctioning
Rate of VAP decreased from 23 to 13 VAP
episodes per 1000 ventilator-days
No differences in total duration of mechanical
ventilation or the ICU and hospital death rates.

PREVENTION BUNDLES: EVIDENCE
Five interventions: semirecumbent position,
stress ulcer prophylaxis, DVT prophylaxis,
adjustment of sedation, and daily assessment for
extubation
Tested in 112 ICUs with 550,800 ventilator-days
VAP rate from a median of 5.5 cases per 1000
ventilator-days at baseline to a median of 0 cases
at 16 to 18 months after implementation
