Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Purpose of review: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most serious and controversial of the infections of the critically ill patient. The accuracy of standard methods of diagnosis remains under constant scrutiny, and at the same time there is increasing debate about whether it is a preventable disease. This review focuses on the pathophysiology of respiratory tract infection in the ventilated patient, and how the latest advances have grown from our current understanding of its pathogenesis. Recent findings: Data from many recent investigations have focused on the role of proximal airway infection, ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT), in respiratory tract infection. The goals of recent trials include reducing the morbidity associated with the progression of airway colonization to VAT or with the progression of VAT to VAP. Continuous subglottic secretion suctioning, innovative types of endotracheal tubes and targeted therapy for VAT in recent investigations have shown promise in improving clinical outcomes in the critically ill patient. However, even with diligent attention to all the modifiable risk factors for respiratory infection, complete elimination of VAT and VAP remains unlikely. As long as a patient requires an endotracheal tube that disturbs airway integrity, host defenses will be impaired, and resistant virulent organisms that result from our liberal use of systemic antibiotics will continue to challenge critical care specialists. Summary: This review will focus on: the current understanding of the pathogenesis of VAT and VAP, modifiable risk factors and new approaches to treatment, and bacterial resistance challenges. © 2009 Wolters Kluwer Health.
