SHEA VAP/VAE/NV-HAP 2022 — Strategies to Prevent Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia, Ventilator-Associated Events, and Nonventilator Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia in Acute-Care Hospitals: 2022 Update
SHEA/IDSA/APIC/AHA/The Joint Commission, 2022
Use a bundle of evidence-based prevention practices focused on avoiding intubation when possible, minimizing sedation, daily assessment for liberation, early mobility, head-of-bed elevation/oral care practices, and other implementation strategies appropriate to the population; prevention guidance is distinct from the ATS/IDSA treatment guideline.
Clinical Context & Relevant Topics (3)
Disease ReferenceQuantitative lower tract sampling (ETA vs BAL), rapid multiplex PCR panels and stewardship interpretation, PK/PD extended beta-lactams, 7-day duration, and the SHEA prevention bundle.
Nosocomial pneumonia developing ≥ 48 hours after admission in non-ventilated patients, host and antibiogram MDR risk tailoring, nasal MRSA PCR screening, and 7-day de-escalation.
