Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a well-established cause of morbidity in critically ill patients. Current VAP criteria exclude patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This retrospective analysis tests the validity of VAP in this population, as well as a new proposed diagnostic criterion for ECMO-associated pneumonia.
呼吸机相关性肺炎(VAP)是重症患者发病的一个公认原因。目前的VAP标准将接受体外膜肺氧合(ECMO)治疗的患者排除在外。这项回顾性分析检验了VAP在这一人群中的有效性,以及一项新提出的ECMO相关性肺炎诊断标准。
