NASAM (National Approach to Standardize and Improve Mechanical Ventilation) is a national collaborative quality improvement project in Saudi Arabia. It aims to improve the care of mechanically ventilated patients by implementing evidence-based practices with the goal of reducing the rate of ventilator-associated events and therefore reducing mortality, mechanical ventilation duration and intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay. The project plans to extend the implementation to a total of 100 ICUs in collaboration with multiple health systems across the country. As of March 22, 2019, a total of 78 ICUs have registered from 6 different health sectors, 48 hospitals, and 27 cities. The leadership support in all health sectors for NASAM speaks of the commitment to improve the care of mechanically ventilated patients across the kingdom.
NASAM（沙特阿拉伯全国标准化和改善机械通气方法）是沙特阿拉伯的一个全国性协作质量改进项目。其旨在通过实施循证实践来改善机械通气患者的护理，目标是降低呼吸机相关事件的发生率，从而降低死亡率、缩短机械通气时间和重症监护病房（ICU）住院时长。该项目计划与全国多个卫生系统合作，将实施范围扩大至总共100个ICU。截至2019年3月22日，共有来自6个不同卫生部门、48家医院和27个城市的78个ICU登记参与。所有卫生部门对NASAM的领导支持表明了该国致力于改善全国机械通气患者的护理。
