Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) Care bundle 

Clinicians from across the WYCCODN have developed and agreed the content of the VAP Care Bundle which can be found below:

Some of the facts.....
  • VAP is estimated to occur in 9-27 % of all mechanically ventilated patients, with the highest risk being early in the course of hospitalization
  • Studies have placed the attributable mortality for VAP at between 33-50 %, but this rate is variable and relies heavily on the underlying medical illness
  • VAP is the second most common nosocomial infection in the intensive care unit and the most common in mechanically ventilated patients
  • VAP increases length of ICU stay by 28%
