Title

Overcoming The Barriers: A Concerted Effort To Prevent Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia

Abstract

Evidence-based strategies to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and other complications of critical illness have been published during the past few years1-3. Despite the availability of guidelines and practice recommendations, many nurses do not implement known strategies for preventing VAP in the critical care setting. What are some of the reasons for lack of evidence-based practice? © 2005 Australian College of Critical Care Nurses Ltd.
