13 New Research Dr. Denny Laporta

14 Outline Updated Canadian VAP Prevention guidelines Recent clinical studies: how did they succeed? Decreasing ventilator-days ETTube factors Weaning is in WHAP October 7,

15 Comprehensive evidence-based clinical practice guidelines for VAP Prevention Muscedere J, Dodek P et al. Jnl Crit Care (2008) 23, RECOMMEND 1. orotracheal route for ETT 2. ventilator circuit: new for each patient change only if circuit soiled/damaged 3. HME: Change q5-7d or as clinically indicated 4. Endotracheal suctioning system: closed changed for each patient and as clinically indicated 5. Subglottic secretion drainage: in patients expected to be mechanically ventilated > 72 hrs (consider as near to 45 as possible). 7. Consider: rotating beds oral antiseptic rinses. October 7,

16 Comprehensive EB-CPG for VAP Prevention Jnl Crit Care (2008) 23, DO NOT RECOMMEND: 1. bacterial filters 2. Iseganan (protegrin) NO RECOMMENDATIONS : 1. systematic search for sinusitis 2. type of airway humidification 3. timing of tracheostomy 4. prone positioning 5. aerosolized antibiotics 6. intranasal mupirocin 7. topical and/or intravenous antibiotics. October 7,

17 How did the clinical studies decrease the incidence of VAP? 1. Ventilator-days (device exposure) 2. Endotracheal tube factors Leakage around ETT Subglottic suction (EVAC) cuff barrier (polyurethane vs PVC) Interaction with PEEP «mucus slurper» Biofilm Antiseptic (Silver) Endotracheal «mucus shaver» 3. WHAP Wean the Patient as soon as possible Hand Hygiene Aspiration Precautions Prevent Contamination Workload: : the Human Factor October 7,

18 Early- and late-onset VAP: Comparison of risk factors. Giard M, Lepape A, et al. Jnl Crit Care (2008) 23, Key Points: Interventions that decrease vent-days: more likely to decrease Early- onset VAP for most patients But 2/3 VAPs were of Late-onset. Despite a lower daily HR, these sicker pts (Lepape, Valles) have a prolonged cumulative device (ETTcircuit vent) exposure October 7,

19 Subglottic Secretion Drainage SSD. A Literature Review. DePew CL et al. AACN Advanced Critical Care18(4): ;2007. UPSIDE It decreases VAP mostly early-onset Endorsed by AACN*, ATS/IDSA**, Canadian guidelines CHALLENGE Maintaining subglottic suction line patency Tracheal herniation, pinched in bite block Hissing noise from the subglottic suction line orifice during aspiration QUESTIONS 1. Does subglottic suctioning cause clinically relevant mucosal injury? 2005: manufacturer redesigned EVAC ( suction line diameter, orifice position to the cuff-ett junction) 2. Does the use of EVAC decrease ventilator days? length of stay? 3. What is the influence of CASS on VAP when all other VAP bundle elements are practiced? 4. Other 1. What level of suction pressure achieves efficient aspiration and patency without causing harm? 2. Could elucidating the safest, most efficient, and effective suction method impact VAP incidence? 3. Is there a difference in volumes aspirated and patency between low-continuous and high-intermittent suction? October 7,

20 Influence of an Endotracheal Tube with Polyurethane Cuff and Subglottic Secretion Drainage on Pneumonia Lorente L et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med Vol 176. pp , 2007 October 7,

21 Effect of positive expiratory pressure and type of tracheal cuff on the incidence of aspiration in mechanically ventilated patients in an ICU Lucangelo U et al. Crit Care Med 2008; 36: PEEP = 5 cm H2O was effective in delaying the passage of fluid around the cuffs of tracheal tubes both in vivo and in vitro. The SealGuard tube proved to be more resistant to leakage than Hi-Lo. October 7,

43 Adapting VAP Bundle for Pediatric Population Gordon Krahn

44 What is the problem! Second most common infection in PICU Suspected VAP accounts for 50% of empiric antibiotic use. NNIS rate for pediatric patients is 2.9 cases per 1000 ventilator days. Wide range of 0 to 8.1 If a patient develops VAP 3.7 additional days of ventilation 8% go on to develop multi organ failure or death. October 7,

45 Definition of VAP in Children Lack of Gold Standard CDC definition mocriteriav1.pdf 3 age categories o Infant to < 1 year of age o 1 12 years of age o > 12 years of age Recommend enlisting the help of your Infection Control department Apply the definition consistently October 7,
