Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia
Josh Solomon, MD
VAP
• difficult to diagnose
• expensive to treat
• increased patient mortality
and hospital stay
• MANY CASES
PREVENTABLE
Definition
• hospital acquired pneumonia after 48h on
ventilator (endotracheal or tracheotomy)
• EARLY ONSET - <96 hours on ventilator
• LATE ONSET - >96 hours on ventilator
Incidence
• Difficult to determine due to definition
• Intubated patients have 21 times the risk to
develop pneumonia
• Estimate that 28% of ventilated patients will
get VAP – 1 out of every 4!
Outcome
• Mortality increased but % unknown
(15-50%)
• Increased ICU stay by an average of 4 days
Heyland. AJRCCM 1999, 159, 1249-56
• 28% patients x 4 days in ICU =$$$$

Risk Factors
Hunter. Postgrad Med 2006, 82, 172-178
Odds Ratio 5.7
Cerra, CHEST 1997
Risk Factors
1400 pts
23% supine
5% elevated HOB
to 45 degrees
Draculovic, Lancet 1999
Hunter. Postgrad Med 2006, 82, 172-178
Diagnosis
1. Fever, leukocytosis,
tachycardia
2. Infiltrate on CXR
3. Purulent Sputum
burns, pancreatitis,
trauma
pulmonary edema,
hemorrhage, contusion
tracheobronchitis
Diagnosis
Clinical Suspicion of VAP
Infiltrate on CXR + one or more of:
•purulent tracheal secretions
•fever
•Leukocytosis
•Reduced PaO2/FIO2
*CLINICAL SUSPICION NOT ENOUGH*
Accuracy 50%
Confirmation of Diagnosis
1. Quantitative Tracheal Aspirate
• bedside by therapist/nurse
• good agreement with invasive bronch
2. Bronchoalveolar Lavage
• more risks than tracheal aspirate
• 73% sensitive and 82% specific
3. Protected Brush Specimen
• Expensive and need experience
• 89% sensitive and 94% specific
Confirmation of Diagnosis
1. Tracheal Aspirate
2. Bronchoalveolar Lavage
3. Protected Brush Specimen

Tracheal Aspirate vs BAL
• Sanchez-Nieto et al, AJRCCM 1998
– No mortality difference and high degree of
concordance
• Ruiz, AJRCCM 2000
– No benefit to BAL over tracheal aspirate
• CCCTG, NEJM 2006
– Similar use of antibiotics, outcome and ICU
stay
Organisms
Cerra. CHEST 1997, 111, 769-78
Organisms
• EARLY (<96 hours)
– Staphylococcus, Strep pneumonia,
Haemophilus influenza
• LATE – (>96 hours, resistant organisms)
– Pseudomonas, MRSA, Klebsiella,
Acinetobacter
Treatment
• start early and before microbiological data
is back
– delay is associated with increased mortality
(69.7 vs 28.4 with 16h delay)
Iregui. Chest 2002, 122, 262-8
• start with appropriate regimen
– inappropriate initial abx associated with
increased mortality and increased length of stay
Kolleff. Clin Infect Dis 2000, 31, S131-8
Antibiotics
Risk Factors for Resistant Organisms
Porzecanski. CHEST 2006, 130, 597-604
Antibiotics
• No Risk Factors for Resistance
– Ceftriaxone/Cefotaxime, fluroquinolone,
ampicillin/sulbactam, ertapenem
Antibiotics
• Risk Factors for Resistance (3 abx)
– antipseudomonal cephalosporin (ceftazadime,
cefepime) or antipseudomonal carbapenem
(imipenem, meropenem) or B-lactam/B-
lactamase inhibitor (pip/tazo) PLUS
– antipseudomonal fluoroquinolone
(ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin) or aminoglycoside
(gentamycin, amikacin, tobramycin) PLUS
– vancomycin or linazolid
Antibiotics
DURATION
• study looking at 8d vs 14d found no
difference in recurrence or mortality
Chastre. JAMA 2003, 290, 2588-98
• if Pseudomonas or Acinetobacter, treat 14d
pseudomonas
acinetobacter
Interim Conclusion
• VAP causes significant increase in mortality
and ICU stay ($)
• Aggressively look for it
– new/progressive infiltrate +
fever/leukocytosis/purulent secretions
• Early appropriate antibiotics
– broad coverage for late onset PNA
Interim Conclusion
• Bacteriologic diagnosis
– tracheal aspirate vs bronch
• Narrow antibiotics once organism found
• Treatment for 8d
• Consider algorithm

Other Prevention Steps
• Minimize blood transfusions
– associated with increased risk VAP
Shorr, Crit Care Med 2004, 32, 666-674
• Tight control of blood glucose
– reduces mortality, sepsis, ICU stay
– no data in VAP but suspected effect
van den Berghe. NEJM 2001, 345, 1359-67
Concusions
• MANY CASES OF VAP ARE
PREVENTABLE!
• Simple techniques
– hand washing, elevated head of bed, attention
to tube feed residuals, bld glc control
• Minimizing interventions
– transfusions, abx courses, tubing changes,
duration of ventilation
Implementation
1. Strict monitoring of monthly cases of VAP
2. Staff education (doctors, nurses,
technicians)
3. Protocols for all patients on ventilators that
address patient and ventilator management
4. Documentation of success in decreasing
incidence of VAP
Conclusion
• VAP is pneumonia after 48 hours on a vent
• It is difficult to diagnose and treat
• It prolongs stay and increases mortality
• It results from aspiration of contaminated
secretions
• Simple measures decrease the incidence
• Appropriate treatment improves outcome
Future
• Vaccines
– investigating vaccine against S.aureus
• Nebulized Antibiotics
– shown to reduce colonization with gram
negatives

  • 2. VAP • difficult to diagnose • expensive to treat • increased patient mortality and hospital stay • MANY CASES PREVENTABLE
  • 3. Definition • hospital acquired pneumonia after 48h on ventilator (endotracheal or tracheotomy) • EARLY ONSET - <96 hours on ventilator • LATE ONSET - >96 hours on ventilator
  • 4. Incidence • Difficult to determine due to definition • Intubated patients have 21 times the risk to develop pneumonia • Estimate that 28% of ventilated patients will get VAP – 1 out of every 4!
  • 5. Outcome • Mortality increased but % unknown (15-50%) • Increased ICU stay by an average of 4 days Heyland. AJRCCM 1999, 159, 1249-56 • 28% patients x 4 days in ICU =$$$$
  • 6. Pathogenesis Isakov. Seminars RCCM 1999, 27, 5-17 Gram(–) and staph colonize oropharynx *Colonized tubing/humidifier/neb *From the sinuses and teeth *Biofilm on ETT Secretions pool above ET cuff Mucociliary clearance impaired No cough reflex Edema/hemorrhage good environment

  • 15. Diagnosis 1. Fever, leukocytosis, tachycardia 2. Infiltrate on CXR 3. Purulent Sputum burns, pancreatitis, trauma pulmonary edema, hemorrhage, contusion tracheobronchitis
  • 16. Diagnosis Clinical Suspicion of VAP Infiltrate on CXR + one or more of: •purulent tracheal secretions •fever •Leukocytosis •Reduced PaO2/FIO2 *CLINICAL SUSPICION NOT ENOUGH* Accuracy 50%
  • 17. Confirmation of Diagnosis 1. Quantitative Tracheal Aspirate • bedside by therapist/nurse • good agreement with invasive bronch 2. Bronchoalveolar Lavage • more risks than tracheal aspirate • 73% sensitive and 82% specific 3. Protected Brush Specimen • Expensive and need experience • 89% sensitive and 94% specific
  • 18. Confirmation of Diagnosis 1. Tracheal Aspirate 2. Bronchoalveolar Lavage 3. Protected Brush Specimen 105 CFUs 104 CFUs 103 CFUs
  • 19. Tracheal Aspirate vs BAL • Sanchez-Nieto et al, AJRCCM 1998 – No mortality difference and high degree of concordance • Ruiz, AJRCCM 2000 – No benefit to BAL over tracheal aspirate • CCCTG, NEJM 2006 – Similar use of antibiotics, outcome and ICU stay
  • 21. Organisms • EARLY (<96 hours) – Staphylococcus, Strep pneumonia, Haemophilus influenza • LATE – (>96 hours, resistant organisms) – Pseudomonas, MRSA, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter
  • 22. Treatment • start early and before microbiological data is back – delay is associated with increased mortality (69.7 vs 28.4 with 16h delay) Iregui. Chest 2002, 122, 262-8 • start with appropriate regimen – inappropriate initial abx associated with increased mortality and increased length of stay Kolleff. Clin Infect Dis 2000, 31, S131-8
  • 23. Antibiotics Risk Factors for Resistant Organisms Porzecanski. CHEST 2006, 130, 597-604
  • 24. Antibiotics • No Risk Factors for Resistance – Ceftriaxone/Cefotaxime, fluroquinolone, ampicillin/sulbactam, ertapenem
  • 25. Antibiotics • Risk Factors for Resistance (3 abx) – antipseudomonal cephalosporin (ceftazadime, cefepime) or antipseudomonal carbapenem (imipenem, meropenem) or B-lactam/B- lactamase inhibitor (pip/tazo) PLUS – antipseudomonal fluoroquinolone (ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin) or aminoglycoside (gentamycin, amikacin, tobramycin) PLUS – vancomycin or linazolid
  • 26. Antibiotics DURATION • study looking at 8d vs 14d found no difference in recurrence or mortality Chastre. JAMA 2003, 290, 2588-98 • if Pseudomonas or Acinetobacter, treat 14d
  • 28. Interim Conclusion • VAP causes significant increase in mortality and ICU stay ($) • Aggressively look for it – new/progressive infiltrate + fever/leukocytosis/purulent secretions • Early appropriate antibiotics – broad coverage for late onset PNA
  • 29. Interim Conclusion • Bacteriologic diagnosis – tracheal aspirate vs bronch • Narrow antibiotics once organism found • Treatment for 8d • Consider algorithm
