RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia: Diagnosis, management, and prevention JF Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine JO Cleve Clin J Med FD Cleveland Clinic SP 633 OP 639 DO 10.3949/ccjm.87a.19117 VO 87 IS 10 A1 Anita Rae Modi A1 Christopher S. Kovacs YR 2020 UL http://www.ccjm.org/content/87/10/633.abstract AB Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) and ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) cause significant inpatient morbidity and mortality. They are especially challenging to diagnose promptly in the intensive care unit because a plethora of other causes can contribute to clinical decline in complex, critically ill patients. The authors describe the diagnosis, management, and prevention of these diseases based on current guidelines and recent evidence.
