Abstract

Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is a nosocomial pneumonia that occurs 48 hours or more after mechanical ventilator usage through the endotracheal tube or the tracheostomy tube. VAP is one of the nosocomial infections often found in the intensive care unit (ICU). The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors and outcomes of VAP. This study used a retrospective cohort design involving all ICU patients at Arifin Achmad General Hospital in 2018 who met the inclusion criteria. The incidence of VAP was 3.1% (95% CI 2.76 - 3.43). The onset of VAP that occurred within 5 days was 66.7%. A significant factor was history of pulmonary disease (p = 0.04) with an RR of 8.2 (95% CI 1.7 - 40.1). There was a significant correlation between the incidence of VAP and length of ICU stay (p = 0.002). The incidence of VAP in Arifin Achmad General Hospital in 2018 was 3.1%. The onset of VAP incidence is still within 5 days, so the prognosis is still good. Doctors and paramedics should pay more attention to ICU patients who have a history of pulmonary disease
