Valoración de los cuidados de enfermería en la prevención de la neumonía asociada a ventilación mecánica

: For these nurse interventions aimed at preventing VAP, levels of compliance with established protocols were satisfactory. The incidence density of VAP was low and well within internationally established ranges. Nevertheless, the incidence of VAP could be further reduced with a better control of cuff pressures and by elevating the HOB to between 30̊ and 45̊.
