Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Pneumonia, Ventilator-associated
Serious INFLAMMATION of the LUNG in patients who required the use of PULMONARY VENTILATOR. It is usually caused by cross bacterial infections in hospitals (NOSOCOMIAL INFECTIONS).
Ventilator-induced Lung Injury
Lung damage that is caused by the adverse effects of PULMONARY VENTILATOR usage. The high frequency and tidal volumes produced by a mechanical ventilator can cause alveolar disruption and PULMONARY EDEMA.
Tracheotomy
Surgical incision of the trachea.
Coronavirus, Rat
A species of CORONAVIRUS causing pneumonia in newborn rats but a clinically inapparent infection in adults. It is separate but antigenically related to MURINE HEPATITIS VIRUS.
Pneumonia, Lipid
Pneumonia due to aspiration or inhalation of various oily or fatty substances.

Background: Whether early percutaneous tracheotomy in patients who require prolonged mechanical ventilation can shorten mechanical ventilation duration and lower mortality remains controversial. Objec...
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine whether the use of a polyurethane-cuffed endotracheal tube would result in a decrease in ventilator-associated pneumonia rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We...

Efficacy of Early Tracheostomy to Reduce Incidence of Ventilator Acquired Pneumonia (VAP)
The study aims to assess early (one to three days after intubation) tracheostomy effectiveness in terms of reduction in ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) incidence.
