https://doi.org/10.63278/jicrcr.vi.959Abstract
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a common and serious healthcare-associated infection that occurs in mechanically ventilated patients in intensive care units (ICUs). It is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, length of hospital stay, and healthcare costs. Effective prevention and management of VAP require a multidisciplinary approach, with nurses and respiratory therapists playing central roles. This review examines the collaborative efforts of nurses and respiratory therapists in managing VAP, emphasizing evidence-based practices, prevention strategies, and the impact of teamwork on patient outcomes. It also explores challenges, innovations, and future directions for enhancing collaborative care.
