“…Furthermore, numerous studies with oral decontamination antibiotic pastes alone or coadministered with systemic antibiotics have shown a reduction in early VAP (1,13,47,163,171). Two meta-analyses have suggested better results with oral decontamination alone than with the combination of oral and systemic prophylaxis (44,154).…”

SUMMARY While critically ill patients experience a life-threatening illness, they commonly contract ventilator-associated pneumonia. This nosocomial infection increases morbidity and likely mortality as well as the cost of health care. This article reviews the literature with regard to diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. It provides conclusions that can be implemented in practice as well as an algorithm for the bedside clinician and also focuses on the controversies with regard to diagnostic tools and approaches, treatment plans, and prevention strategies.

“…Cheaper handheld devices (NIOX MINO; Aerocrine AB, Solna, Sweden) using an electrochemical sensor to measure FeNO are now available [6] and should allow widespread use of FeNO evaluation in asthma management. The few existing studies that have investigated FeNO measurements achieved with NIOX MINO suggest that FeNO is well correlated (albeit slightly higher) with FeNO measured using the larger chemoluminescence analyser provided by the same manufacturer (Aerocrine AB) [7][8][9].…”

“…Colonization of the oropharynx by pathogens is a potential risk factor for the development of VAP (58)(59)(60). Critical illness contributes to changes in the oral flora, and an increase in gram-negative flora that includes more virulent organisms may occur (61,62).…”

This is the unspecified version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent repository link Financial supportThis project was conducted under the auspices of the World Federation of Critical CareNurses (WFCCN), and no sponsorship or funding was received for this project. NURSING CONSIDERATIONS TO COMPLEMENT THE SURVIVING SEPSIS CAMPAIGN GUIDELINES ABSTRACTObjective: To provide a series of recommendations, based on the best available evidence, to guide clinicians providing nursing care to patients with severe sepsis.Design: Modified Delphi method involving international experts and key individuals in subgroup work and electronic-based discussion among entire group to achieve consensus.Methods: We used the Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines (SSC) as a framework to inform the structure and content of these guidelines. We used the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system to rate the quality of evidence from high (A) to very low (D) and to determine the strength of recommendations, with grade1indicating clear benefit in the septic population and grade 2 indicating less confidence in the benefits in the septic population. In areas without complete agreement between all authors a process of electronic discussion of all evidence was undertaken until consensus was reached.This process was conducted independently of any funding.Results: Sixty-three recommendations relating to the nursing care of severe sepsis patients are
