An intensive care unit implemented an oral care bundle to decrease ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). A retrospective analysis comparing like time periods revealed the VAP rate per 1,000 ventilator-days dropped significantly from 10.5 to 0 (P = .016). The oral care bundle remains in place as of end of May 2011 and has proven to be a sustainable method for VAP prevention.
