Abstract

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is defined as nosocomial pneumonia that occurs 48 hours after using mechanical ventilation. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the risk factors associated with the incidence of VAP. The secondary objective is to identify the pattern of bacterial sensitivity in confirmed VAP cases. A retrospective study was conducted in the intensive care unit at Haji Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan. Data of 60 patients with and without VAP diagnosis between March 2017 and October 2018 were evaluated. The most common cause of infection was Klebsiella pneumonia (36.7%), with 90.9% were sensitive to Amikacin. Majority of patients were (76.6%, 46/60) aged < 60 years, used ventilator longer than 5 days (68.3%, 41/60) and with the smoking habit (53.5%, 32/60). We found no association between age, duration of ventilator and smoking habit with the increased incidence of VAP. Further study with a larger sample size may be needed to find the associations.
