| contents | <p>Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common infection that can happen in hospitals, especially in intensive care units.

It included ICU patients who were on ventilators for at least 48 hours..</p> <p>Results: Out of 100 patients, 22.3% developed VAP. The infection rate was 5.6 per 1,000 ventilator days. Nurses followed the VAP care bundle 69% of the time, but this decreased over the hospital stay. Higher nurse compliance was linked to: Shorter hospital stays Fewer days on a ventilator Lower hospital costs Patients who did not get VAP had better nurse compliance (average 72.9%) than those who did get VAP (average 56.6%).</p> <p>Conclusions: Better nurse compliance with VAP guidelines leads to improved patient outcomes.
