Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in Low- and Middle-Income vs. High-Income Countries: The Role of Ventilator Bundle, Ventilation Practices, and Healthcare Staffing.

Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) rates are higher in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) than in high-income countries (HICs).

Research Question: Could differences in ventilator bundle adherence, ventilation practices, and critical care staffing be driving variations in VAP risk between LMICs and HICs?

We included oral care, head-of-bed elevation, spontaneous breathing assessments, and sedation breaks in the ventilator bundle.
