Article Synopsis
- Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a frequent complication in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) that can worsen health outcomes, and this study aims to analyze the risk factors and clinical results specific to these patients.
- A thorough literature review was conducted, comprising 12 studies with data from 2,883 patients, using systematic methods to assess quality and analyze the data for factors affecting VAP incidence.
- Key findings indicated that male gender and severe head injuries increase VAP risk, while blood transfusions and barbiturate infusions are also significant risk factors; protective factors include younger age and prophylactic antibiotics, with patients experiencing longer ICU stays and mechanical ventilation duration if they develop VAP.
