Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a lung infection that develops in people who are on mechanical ventilation. It is caused by bacteria that enter the lungs through the ventilator tube. Symptoms include fever, increased mucus production and difficulty breathing. To prevent this, strict hygiene protocols must be followed while regularly cleaning and replacing ventilator equipment and using techniques to reduce bacterial growth. Timely diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic treatment are crucial for managing ventilator-associated pneumonia and improving patient outcomes. Dr. Dhiraj Kumar, critical care physician and anesthetist from Patna, Bihar, discusses ventilator-associated pneumonia.
