Development of secondary nosocomial bacteremia in patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia in intensive care units
National Cancer Center, Baku, Azerbaijan
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the second most common nosocomial infection incidence, increasing the morbidity and mortality rates. Developing in some cases secondary nosocomial bacteremia largely worsens the underlying disease.
In order to determine the facts of secondary bacteremia we have examined 114 patients with various somatic diseases treated with long-invasive respiratory support.
In the course of the study 33,3% had a diagnosis of VAP, in 9,75% – complicated by the addition of bacteremia, pathogens which were MDR Acinetobacter spp. and Klebsiela pneumonia. Detection of bacteremia suggesting a poor prognosis, increased ventilation time and stay in the Intensive care unit, and the results of microbiological methods for blood tests were the basis for targeted antibiotic therapy.
Keywords: ventilator-associated pneumonia, nosocomial infections, secondary nosocomial bacteremia.
