  1. Economic Impact of VAP in a Large Matched CohortInfection Control and Hospital Epidemiology March 2012, Vol. 33, No. 3Marin H. Kollef, MD; Cindy W. Hamilton, PharmD, Frank R. Ernst, PharmD, MS Conclusion: Our findings suggest that VAP continues to occur as defined by the new specific ICD-9 code and is associated with a statistically significant resource utilization burden, which underscores the need for cost-effective interventions to minimize the occurrence of this complication.

  2. Improving Surveillance for Ventilator Associated Events in Adults • “It is necessary to have objective reliable surveillance for definitions for use in public reporting and inter-facility comparisons of event rates and federal pay-for-reporting and performance programs.” • New Definition • Detects complications and conditions including, but not limited to VAP • Requires a minimum period of time on ventilator • Focuses on readily available, objective, clinical date • Does not include chest radiograph findings • The goal for implementation in NHSN (National Healthcare Safety Network) is January 2013.

  3. The Product Selected Must Address Three Risk Factors for VAP • Colonization of dental plaque with respiratory pathogens. 2. Bacterial colonization of the oropharyngeal area. 3. Aspiration of subglottic secretions. Schleder B, et al., J Advocate Health Care. 2002;4(1):27-30.

  4. Professional organizations are now recognizing comprehensive oral care as key to addressing VAP and HAP. • APIC 2009 Guide to the Elimination of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia7 • Key prevention strategies: • Perform routine antiseptic mouth care • Example mouth care and documentation form includes the following: • Perform routine antiseptic mouth care • Brush teeth q12 • Provide oral care every 2 to 4 hours with antiseptic • Apply mouth moisturizer to oral mucosa and lips • Suction orally as necessary CDC Guidelines for preventing Healthcare-Associated Pneumonia1,5 “… Develop and implement a comprehensive oral-hygiene program (that might include use of an antiseptic agent) for patients in acute-care settings or residents in long-term care facilities who are at risk for health-care associated pneumonia (II)” AACN Procedure Manual for Critical Care – Oral Care Interventions; 2005, 20101,6 “Assess oral cavity and lips every 8 hours, and perform oral care every 2 to 4 hours and as needed.2 With oral care, assess for buildup of plaque on teeth or potential infection related to oral abscess.” “Perform oral hygiene, using pediatric or adult (soft) toothbrush, at least twice a day. Gently brush patient’s teeth to clean and remove plaque from teeth.” 2 “Use toothpaste or cleansing solution that assists in the breakdown of debris.” “Cleansing solution should contain additives that assist in the breakdown of mucus in the mouth.  Sodium bicarbonate assists in the removal of debris accumulation on oral tissue and teeth”. “In addition to brushing twice daily, use oral swabs with a 1.5% hydrogen peroxide solution to clean mouth every 2 to 4 hours.”2 “Antiseptic oral rinses (chlorhexidine, cetylpyridinium chloride [CPC], added after brushing or done in conjunction with comprehensive oral care did achieve elimination of VAP.”9 “With each cleansing, apply a mouth moisturizer to the oral mucosa and lips to keep tissue moist.”2 “Suction oral cavity/pharynx frequently.”3 • IHI Guidelines8 Recommendations • Doctors and nurses can help prevent VAP by using a bundle of 5 “care steps.” The bundle of care steps are as follows: • Elevation of the Head of the Bed • Daily "Sedation Vacations" and Assessment of Readiness to Extubate • Peptic Ulcer Disease Prophylaxis • Deep Venous Thrombosis Prophylaxis • Daily Oral Care with Chlorhexidine 1. In addition to other interventions. 2. Level IV: Limited clinical studies to support recommendations. 3. Continuous suctioning: Level II: Theory based, no research data to support recommendations; recommendations from expert consensus group may exist. Intermittent suctioning: Level IV: Limited clinical studies to support recommendations. 4. Category IA: Strongly recommended for implementation and strongly supported by well-designed experimental, clinical, or epidemiologic studies. 5.
