Abstract:
The use of the breathing machine undoubtedly represents the progress in the field of respiratory insufficien-cy treatment,although it has saved many lives,but its side effects are also as everyone knows. Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the most important complication of mechanical ventilation ,it can make the cost of hospitalization and the mortality of patients increased significantly. Pathological biopsy and histological training as the “gold standard ”for di-agnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia ,but it is the invasive operation and it difficult to fully implement , recently the diagnosis is still controversial. Emerged in recent years the biomarkers for the diagnosis research , but the diver-gence of the corresponding research conclusion is wide. Now , biomarkers that would be useful for diagnosis of ventila-tor-associated pneumonia are reviewed so as to it can improve people ’s understanding of the value of biomarkers in the diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia.
