“…VAP occurs in patients who are receiving mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours (3). VAP is the most common nosocomial infection in critically ill patients and in patients under mechanical ventilation (4). It increases the duration of mechanical ventilation, hospital stay, and patient's mortality (5).…”

Background: The prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) can decrease the duration of mechanical ventilation, length of hospital stay, mortality, and healthcare costs. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the effect of the elevation of head of bed (HOB) to 30 and 45 degreess on the incidence of VAP. Methods: This study was a 3 group controlled randomized clinical trial. It consisted of 120 patients who were under mechanical ventilation and hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) from February to July 2016 in the selected governmental hospitals of Iran University of Medical Sciences. The patients were allocated into 3 groups. The patients of intervention groups received interventions consisting of HOB elevation to 30 and 45 degreess for 3 consecutive days. The patients in the control group were in the routine position in the bed for 3 consecutive days. The HOB elevation was measured using the goniometer and recorded by nurses in perticular forms. At the end of the third day, VAP and pressure ulcers were evaluated using the clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) as well as Braden scales. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: Statistically significant differences were reported in terms of VAP between the groups of the HOB evelation to 30 degrees (32.50%) and 45 degrees (20.00%) and control groups (52.50%) (P = 0.01). However, the mean scores of pressure ulcer showed no statistically significant differences between the groups (P = 0.625). The greatest change in position was performed by the staff nurses

“…We need to understand the nuances of clinical interaction and the meaning that is ascribed to that by the clinicians themselves before we can confidently prescribe what needs to change and how. Korhan et al (2014) report on a cross-sectional study to assess Turkish Nurses knowledge of guideline on the prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). This is an important topic as it is estimated that 80% of the pneumonias in ICU are VAP.…”

“…Mekanik ventilasyon desteği alan hastaların takibi sırasında ortaya çıkan ve en sık görülen nozokomiyal enfeksiyon iseventilatör ilişkili pnömoni (VİP)'dir. (14,15,16). VİP endotrakeal tüpün yerleştirilmesinden sonraki ilk 48 saatte oluşabileceği gibi genellikle entübasyondan 48-72 saat sonra gelişmektedir ( 9,10,17,18).…”
