Clinical Trial Summary

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is an important cause of prolonged intensive care unit and hospital length of stay, healthcare costs and mortality in mechanically ventilated patients. There are an international guidelines for VAP diagnosis, treatment and prevention (Infectious Diseases Society of America(IDSA)/American Thoracic Society (ATS) 2016 and European Respiratory Society (ERS) / European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) / European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectiuos Diseases (ESCMID) / Asociacion Latinoamericana del Torax (ALAT) 2017) routinely used in most ICUs. The investigator planed on comparing two strategies for prevention of VAP in mechanically ventilated patients: the routine VAP bundle ( historical group - VAP1) and the modified VAP bundle ( study group - VAP2) by using 3 modifications ( Shiley Evac Endotracheal tube with TaperGuard Cuff, Automatic continuous subglottic secretion drainage (SSD) and continuous tube cuff pressure monitoring).

The aim of the study is an assessment of the effectiveness of the modified prevention of VAP in reduction of: early and late VAP cases, mechanical ventilation days (MV), length of stay (LOS) in the ICU, 28 day mortality and multi drug resistent pathogens (MDR) cases in adult ICU patients.
