Abstract
In critically ill, intubated patients on intensive care unit (ICU), ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a significant complication contributing to substantial mortality, morbidity, and prolonged stays, which in turn requires considerable financial and natural resources [1, 2]. Preventing VAP is therefore essential for improving patients’ safety and enhancing the outcomes’ cost-effectiveness and sustainability of healthcare [1].
