Background/purpose: This study investigated the impact of implementing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) bundle care on the rates of VAP in intensive care units (ICUs) in Taiwan. Methods: A total of 10 ICUs (bed number, 170), including surgical (SICUs) (n = 7), cardiovascular/surgical (CV/S-ICUs) (n = 1), and medical ICUs (MICUs) (n = 2) from 10 hospitals (7 medical center hospitals and 3 regional hospitals) were enrolled in this quality-improvement project. This study was divided into the pre-intervention phase (1st January, 2012–31st July, 2013) and the intervention phase (1st August, 2013–31st October, 2014). Results: Among the 10 hospitals, the overall rates (cases per 1000 ventilator-days) of VAP declined significantly (p = 0.005; rate ratio, 0.71) from 1.9 in the pre-intervention period to 1.5 in the intervention period. Significant difference in VAP rates between these periods was found in the regional hospitals (from 1.6 to 0.7; p |
