Research progress of ventilator-associated pneumonia in neonatal intensive care unit
Ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP),as a hospital-acquired pulmonary infection,is one of the com-mon complications in neonatal intensive care unit(NICU).However,there are no standardized cariteria for the definition of VAP in neonates,and it is prone to overlap with other clinical manifestations of pulmonary pathology specific to premature infants,resulting in low specificity and high subjectivity in the diagnosis.Many NICUs have implemented cluster prevention strategies to reduce the incidence of VAP through hand hygiene,oral care,aseptic operation of equipment,daily assessment of extubation,and body positioning to prevent gastric reflux,but further evidence is needed to support the effectiveness of cluster elements.This article mainly discusses and evaluates the epidemiology,pathogenesis and preventive measures of neonatal VAP.
