The compliance increased to 90% after the second PDSA cycle. In the third PDSA cycle, uniformity and standardization of all components of VAP were ensured. After increasing the VB compliance at greater than 90%, there was a significant decline in the incidence of VAP, from 62.4/1,000 ventilatory days to 25.7/1,000 ventilatory days, with a 2.34 times risk reduction in the VAP rate (P= 0.004).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The study highlights the effectiveness of a structured QI approach in enhancing VB compliance and reducing VAP incidence. There is a need for continued education, protocol standardization, and continuous monitoring to ensure the sustainability of this implementation.</p>","PeriodicalId":44118,"journal":{"name":"Acute and Critical Care","volume":" ","pages":"535-544"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11617846/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142669626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
