Before and after the contin-uous quality improvement,to investigate and analyze their knowledge on VAP and their adherence of continuing implementation about the VAP bundle nursing strategy in 26 medical staff.[Results] After the continuous quality improvement ,there was more significantly difference in their knowledge on VAP and their adherence of continuing implementation about the VAP bundle nursing strategy than before. By the continuous quality improvement, the VAP infection rate decreased from 41.2%to 23.7%,and the difference was statistical y significant.
