Abstract
Ventilator-associated pneumonia occurs in the evolution of 8 to 70% of patients in the Intensive Care Unit. It is the main site of nosocomial infection for mechanically ventilated patients. Nosocomial pneumonia represents an important cause of morbidity and mortality, despite progresses in antibiotic prescription, use of intensive care and prevention. This review is based on the ATS guidelines, and reviews epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of ventilator-acquired pneumonia, in non-immunocompromised adults.
