DOI: 10.47176/mjiri.39.123
Abstract: Background The principal mechanism underlying the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) involves the aspiration of microorganisms from colonized oropharyngeal secretions past the endotracheal tube (ETT), followed by bacterial proliferation along the ETT surface. The Modified… read more here.
