RETRACTED: Efficacy of Intermittent and Continuous Subglottic Secretion Drainage in Preventing the Risk of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Control Trials
Abstract:Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is hospital-acquired pneumonia that develops 48 h or longer following mechanical ventilation. However, cuff pressure fluctuates significantly due to patient or tube movement, which might result in microaspiration. Subglottic secretion drainage (SSD) has been suggested as a method for VAP prevention bundles. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of subglottic SSD in preventing VAP. The secondary outcomes of this study are to in… Show more
