EPIDEMIOLOGY OF VENTILATOR-ASSOCIATED TRACHEOBRONCHITIS AND VENTILATOR-ASSOCIATED PNEUMONIA IN PATIENTS WITH INHALATION INJURY AT THE BURN CENTRE IN BRNO (CZECH REPUBLIC)

Original language description

Aim. The aim of this work is to determine the incidence of ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT) and ventilator- associated pneumonia (VAP) and to define the define the most important respiratory pathogens in patients with inhalation injury. Introduction. Infectious complications in severely burned patients present serious problems. Patients with inhalation injuries are exposed to greater risk owing to the possible development of infectious complications in the lower respiratory tract. VAP is the predominant cause of death in these patients. This is due to the increasing resistance of strains of Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Design. Retrospective, monocentric. Setting.A five-bed burn intensive care unit. Material and methods. Between 2004 and 2009, 348 adult patients were hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the Department of Burns and Reconstructive Surgery, Brno University Hospital, Czech Repu
