“…Ventilator‐associated events were further divided into VAC, IVAC, and PVAP as described in Figure 1. VACs were defined as a sustained increase in a patient's ventilator settings, such as an increase in PEEP by 3 cm H 2 O or an increase in FiO 2 by 20% over baseline, following a period of stability of 2 or more days 5,27,30 . IVAC were defined as patient temperature or leukocyte counts with the use of a new antimicrobial agent 27 .…”
