Thirty-eight studiesmet our inclusion criteria and we found that the combined measures can prevent VAP toagreater extent
Since thirty-eight other studies also met the same inclusion criteria, there will be similarities in the results. In turn, it will also make the findings more reliable if there are similarities found in other similar studies. -CR, CM, KS
We assume thatmeasures such as hand hygiene and aseptic suctioning technique are of the most basictechniques and that they were taken for granted, along with all the other interventionsfor VAP prevention in the included studies.
This statement highlights issues that are fundamental care techniques that are commonly not thought of. A patient with a ventilator will be at high risk of infection, so it is essential that infection prevention techniques are not lost. -Cr, CM, KS
At first, as we searched forrelevant studies only in English language, other potential studies written in differentlanguages were not included in our review.
I think it is important to note a barrier such as this that not is not often thought of. There could be plenty of findings accomplished by research but if barriers are overlooked or disregarded then the most accurate findings may never be found. -CR, CM, KS
Multidisciplinarymeasures combined with long-lasting education programs and measurement of bundle’s complianceshould be the gold standard combination.
These three different aspects of care are described as the gold standard combination of a care bundle. It is important to have measures in check to assess and improve your facility. -CR, CM, KS
