Review highlights prevention strategies for ventilator-associated pneumonia in intensive care units, suggesting improved measures against infections.
Despite various preventive measures, ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is still a persistent leader among nosocomial infections in intensive care units in developed and developing countries.
