Sažetak
Aim: To investigate the correlation between the occurrence of VAP and the number of days of mechanical ventilation. Results: VAP developed in 7 (24%) out of 50 patients on mechanical ventilation. The average number of days on mechanical ventilation was 10.67 (SD±9.23), with the number of days ranging from 1-47. The average number of day of mechanical ventilation in patients who developed VAP was 20.28 (SD±13.72). In patients who did not develop VAP, the average number of days of mechanical ventilation was 9.20 (SD±7.41), ranging from 1-30 days. We confirmed a statistically significant positive correlation between the number of days on mechanical ventilation and the occurrence of VAP (0.856897). Out of 7 patients who developed VAP, in 2 (4%) VAP was classified as early, and in 5 (10%) as late , onset VAP. The rate of VAP per 1000 days of mechanical ventilation was 13, and the percentage of patients who developed VAP with regards to the number of patients who were on mechanical ventilation longer than 48 hours was 14%.
