Ventilator associated pneumonia and endotracheal tube repositioning: an underrated risk factor
Am J Infect Control.
2014 Dec.
Abstract
Aspiration of secretions toward lower airways potentially occurs during endotracheal tube (ETT) repositioning in mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit and may be a risk factor for developing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). This case-control study confirms that repositioning of the ETT is an independent risk factor for VAP.
