Effectiveness of a VAP Prevention Bundle in the PICU

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This observational monocentric prospective study aims to evaluate the efficacy of new measures for ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) management in the pediatric population in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Fondazione Policlinico Agostino Gemelli of 8 beds. The investigators will compare the incidence of VAP in the group of patients in which this protocol has been implemented to a retrospective control group of patients before the new protocol implementation. VAP bundle includes oral care hygiene measures (i.e chlorhexidine swab), to keep clean and dry ventilator circuits and head positioning at 45 degrees.
