Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess the prevalence of ventilator-associated events (VAE) and the antibiotic resistance patterns of bacterial infections in ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) within an ICU in Uttarakhand, highlighting VAP as a major cause of hospital-acquired infections (HAI).
- - A total of 1,220 patients were monitored; 6.4% were diagnosed with VAE, which progressed to different infection-related conditions, with the significant presence of certain bacteria among the isolates.
- - Effective early antibiotic treatment is crucial for improving patient outcomes, with colistin being the most effective antibiotic against the detected organisms, although challenges in diagnosing VAP remain.
