Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology 2017 July

Comparing the current ventilator-associated event-possible VAP definition to the pre-2013 VAP definition, we identified considerably fewer VAP cases in our burn ICU. The new definition does not capture many VAP cases that would have been reported using the pre-2013 definition. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2017;38:867-869.
