Definitions
Healthcare-associated pneumonia (HCAP):
Arises within 90 days of having beenadmitted to an acute care facility & pt. hasresided in a nursing home or LTCF. OR
Recd. I.v. antibiotics, chemo or wound care
within past 30 days HAP:
Arises 48 hours or more after hospitaladmission
Is not incubating at the time of admission Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP):
Arises 48-72 hours or more afterendotracheal intubation

HAP: Impact
Accounts for ~15% of all nosocomialinfections (2ndmost common cause of NIsafter UTIs)
Extra days in the hospital: 4-9 days
Average extra days in ICU: 4.3 days
In mechanically ventilated patients, theincidence increases with duration ofventilation.
Approximately half of all episodes of VAP occurwithin the first 4 days of mechanicalventilation. The risk is estimated to be3%/day during the first 5 days of ventilation,2%/day during Days 5 to 10 of ventilation,
and 1%/day after this.

Prevention General
-effective infective control measurestaff education/hand wash/isolation
-survellianceidentify and quantify endemic and new MDR
Intubation and mechanical ventilation-avoid if possible
-non invesive whenever
-orotracheal intubation and orogastric tube
-continous aspiration of subglottic secretion
-cuff pressure 20 mm of H20-Circuit condensate
-passive humidifier /HME
-duration of intubation and ventilation
-avoid constant sedation and paralysis
-adequate staffing

Orotracheal Nasotracheal ET/RTAspiration and feeding
- PUP 450- Semirecumbent position especially when feeding
-Enteral Vs Parenteral
Modulation Colonisation,antiseptic andantibiotic
-SDD -may reduce VAP /not effective when MDR
-Prior antibiotic-reduce HAP/if inf in presence of antibiotic suggestMDR
-Oral Chlorhexidine M/W Other
-Stress ulcer prophylaxis Sucralfate Vs H2 Blocker
-Transfusion restricted/leuckocyte depleted

Management strategies summaryHAP, VAP or HCAP suspected
Obtain lower respiratory tract (LRT) sample forculture (quantitative or semi-quantitative) and microscopy
Unless there is both a low clinical suspicion for pneumonia and negative microscopy of LRT sample, begin
empiric antimicrobial therapy using an algorithm and local microbiological data
Days 2 and 3: check cultures and assess clinical response: (temperature, WBC, chest X-ray, oxygenation,
purulent sputum, haemodynamic changes and organ function)

Optimal antibiotic therapy
Shorten the duration from 14-21 days to 8days unless the pathogen is not pseudomonasaeruginosa or patient has poor clinical
response. Initial iv oral/enteral with good response &
fning int. tract
Combination therapy for MDR pathogens
Cycling antibiotics within the same class may antibiotic resistance
