Abstract
Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP): Clinical Strategies, Treatment Challenges and Economic Concerns
Zubair S, Huma Ali, Zafar F, Beg AE, Sial AA, Naveed S, Saleem S and Tariq A
The clinical and economic features of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) are quite unclear, with an extensive array of values and contradictory results. The real challenge in this connection is to present the real estimate of the clinical and associated economic consequences of VAP. In developing countries like Pakistan, it is important to formulate an optimal institutional antimicrobial policy that can be used as a guide for empirical/prophylactic and specific therapies of antibiotics in VAP with more rational approach to lessen the rates of mortality and morbidity, decline the length of treatment and hospitalization and the significant impact in prevention of development of multidrug resistant strains and cost reduction.
