Abstract:
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) has become one of the most common and severe complications in patients with mechanical ventilation due to its high morbidity and mortality rates, and is an important cause of death in critically ill patients. Pathogenic oropharyngeal colonization mostly accumulates in the subglottic secretion, which is easy to be ignored and difficult to be cleaned. The leakage of subglottic secretion can result in pathogenic oropharyngeal colonization in the lung, and in turn cause VAP. Flushing of the subglottic secretion can effectively prevent VAP. Selection and amount of rinses, flushing frequency and proper cuff pressure maintenance during flushing were reviewed in the current study.
