1 Lâcher les VAP pour les VAC, les IVAC?...(CDC) INTRODUCTION VAP surveillance is needed to measure incidence and to gauge the success of prevention efforts. However, VAP diagnosis is a complex issue for ICU physicians. Therefore, the CDC developed a new approach to VAP surveillance in order to make the surveillance more objective. The result is an algorithm for diagnosing Ventilator-Associated Events (VAEs) rather than VAP. VAES are based on objective conditions, i.e. ventilator settings. 1

2 CONVENTIONAL DEFINITION: CDC Radiology Two or more serial chest radiographs with at least 1 of the following: 1. New or progressive and persistent infiltrate 2. Consolidation 3. Cavitation Systemic signs (at least 1) 1. Fever (>38 C or >100.4 F) 2. Leukopenia (<4000 WBC/mm3) or leukocytosis ( WBC/mm3) 3. For adults 70 years old, altered mental status with no other recognized cause Pulmonary signs (at least 2) 1. New onset of purulent sputum, or change in character of sputum, or increased respiratory secretions, or increased suctioning requirements 2. Worsening gas exchange (eg, desaturations, increased oxygen requirements, or increased ventilator demand) 3. New onset or worsening cough, or dyspnea, or tachypnea 4. Rales or bronchial breath sounds 100 Diagnosing VAP sensitivity AUC = 0.98 AUC = 0.5 AUC 1. Histologogy: Bronchoscopy + Q cult Blind sample + Q cult Clinical scores (CPIS) Surveillance data specificity 100 Bonten MJM, ICPIC Geneva

3 Commentary American Journal of Infection Control 2011 Eight initiatives that misleadingly lower ventilator-associated pneumonia rates Michael Klompas Interpret clinical signs as strictly as possible Interpret chest radiographs as strictly as possible Require consensus between 2 or more infection preventionists Seek endorsement of intensivists before «certifying» suspected cases of VAP Require BAL for diagnosis Set quantitative growth thresholds for endotracheal aspirate and BAL cultures Transfer patients who require prolonged mechanical ventilation Expand surveillance to include uncomplicated postoperative patients REVIEW C O URRENT PINION Is a ventilator-associated pneumonia rate of zero really possible?

9 ADVANTAGES AND DISAVANTAGES ++++ On one hand, that definition focused on events might circumvent subjectivity and inaccuracy of the definition of VAP (facilitate electronic assessment, make interfacility comparisons more meaningful, and encourage broader prevention strategies) On the other hand, embedding VAP in the larger concept of VAEs may dilute the attention to VAP prevention. REVIEW C O URRENT PINION Ventilator-associated events surveillance: a patient safety opportunity Michael Klompas 2013 VAC incidence Hayashi n = UCI 28% Prospero n= ICU Muscedere n = ICUs 15% 10,5% 9

10 Our objectives were to assess: OBJECTIVES (1) the current incidence of VAEs, (2) the causes related to the first episode of VAEs, i.e.; nosocomial infections (including VAP), iatrogenic adverse events (IAEs) and interventions (transport and fluid resuscitation), (3) the reality of a correlation between VAEs and VAPs episodes, (4) the impact of VAEs on antibiotic consumption and length on mechanical ventilation. 10

11 METHODS Material Longitudinal prospective French multicenter Outcomerea database (22 units) Patients were classified as to the presence of at least one VAC or VAC-SIRS or IVAC episode during their first session of mechanical ventilation (from intubation to the first successful extubation). Inclusion criteria 18 years Mechanical ventilation for 5 days Exclusion criteria More than 40% of missing data METHODS Definitions VAC was defined as first 2 days of stable or decreasing level of PEEP range ( 6, 10 and 16 mmhg) and a stable or improved PaO 2 /FiO 2 ratio followed by a rise in PEEP range 2 days or a decreasing PaO2/FiO2 ratio 2 days by more than 50 mmhg with the same level of PEEP or by more than 100 mmhg whatever the level of PEEP.

VAEs rate seems to be a good indicator for quality-improvement purpose rather than a replacement for VAP surveillance (good negative predictive value; low positive predictive value). However, given that VAEs are related to many different causes, prevention strategies are not easy to design. 17
