Maximal Barrier Precautions
• For the operator placing the central line
and for those assisting in the
procedure:
–
–
–
–
Wear cap, mask, sterile gown, and gloves
Cap should cover all hair
Mask should cover the nose and mouth tightly.
These precautions are the same as for any other
surgical procedure that carries a risk of infection
• For the patient:
– Cover the patient with a large sterile drape, with
a small opening for the site of insertion.

“It’s Not Just A Checklist”
• How to adapt an effective tool to other
cultures/units
• With the success in the MICU, some ICUs
started using the checklist
– No culture change
– No education/examination/feedback of data
– Initial implementation = minimal success
– Risk labeling the tool a “failure”

How this has helped
• Increased Physician compliance with maximal
barrier precautions, site selection and early
discontinuation of femoral lines or lines placed
emergently.
• Increase staff awareness and identification of
lines that need to be removed.
• Better identification of BSIs through proper
culturing.

Obstacles that Remain
• RNs remain uncomfortable requesting that
physicians comply with maximal barrier
precautions.
• Utilization of checklist outside the ICU is low.
• Continued resistance to discontinuing PICC lines
by staff.
• Hardwiring the prevention bundle.

Opportunities for Patient and
Family Involvement
• Teach patients and families the proper care of the central
venous catheter as well as precautions for preventing infection.
• Teach patients and families to recognize signs and symptoms
of infection.
• Encourage patients to report changes in their catheter site or
any new discomfort.
• Encourage patients and family members to make sure that
doctors and nurses check the line every day for signs of
infection.
• Invite patients to ask staff if they have washed their hands prior
to treatment.
• Encourage patients and family members to ask questions
before a central line is placed.

Overview
• CDC changed the definition for VAP in 2007
– VAP no longer needs the “48 hour” criterion
• Discuss various VAP preventive strategies
– Review the evidence
– Acknowledge that some data are conflicting &
uncertainty still exists for strategies
• Algorithms for diagnosing and treating VAP
© 2008 TMIT
58
29
VAP Definition
• Most recent studies defined VAP as an infection
occurring > 48 hours after hospital admission in a
mechanically ventilated patient with a
tracheostomy or endotracheal tube.
• In 2007, CDC revised their VAP definition:
– The new criteria state there is no minimum period of time
the ventilator must be in place in order to diagnose VAP.
– This important change must be kept in mind when
examining future studies.

59
Epidemiology of VAP
• Common & serious problem in the ICU
– 2nd most common nosocomial infection
• 15% of all hospital acquired infections
– Attributable mortality may approach 20%
– Estimated cost of $5,000-20,000 per episode
• Increased ICU & hospital length of stay

Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
• Starting in 2009, CMS will limit reimbursements for
conditions not present at admission (e.g., VAP).

Wake-up AND Breathe
• “Wake-up & Breathe” Trial
• RCT of 336 MV patients at 4 hospitals
– n = 168 received a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT)
– n = 168 received 1st a sedation vacation and 2nd a SBT
• Intervention group:
– 3.1 fewer ventilator-days (p=0.02)
– 3.8 fewer ICU days (p=0.01)
– 4.3 fewer hospital days (p=0.04)
• Patients in the intervention group were also less
likely to die in the next 12 months: HR 0.68
(p=0.01)

Oral Care
• Rationale: oral pathogens contaminate secretions
that eventually migrate into the lungs.
• 2 recent meta-analyses demonstrated a lower risk
of VAP with oral chlorhexidine
– RR 0.74 (0.56-0.96)
– RR 0.61 (0.45-0.82)
• Safe, feasible, & cheap.
REC: Consider oral antisepsis with chlorhexidine.

71
Oral Care
• Method of chlorhexidine (CHX) application
matters!
– Completely clean mouth & oropharynx prior to CHX
– Avoid brushing/mouthwashes for 2 hours after CHX
– Caveat: may cause tooth discoloration
• Can be removed at next dental cleaning = reversible
• Explain rationale to families
• No need to use expensive commercial oral care
products

72
36
Oral Care Protocols
• Numerous protocols are published in the literature
& online
• Practice patterns vary considerably between ICUs
• Pick one, develop a guideline for your ICU, &
implement it!
– Oral care is more likely to be performed if you make a protocol
– Consider making it a part of routine ventilator care

73
Management of Secretions
• Proper management of secretions is essential
• To prevent aspiration of pooled secretions,
perform hypopharyngeal suctioning before:
– suctioning ETT
– repositioning ETT
– deflating the cuff
– repositioning patient
© 2008 TMIT
74
37
Management of Secretions
• Type of suctioning system (open vs. closed)
does not affect VAP.
– Closed system is likely safer for providers.
• Scheduling changes of the closed suctioning
systems does not affect VAP incidence.
– Cost considerations favor less frequent changes.
REC: Use a closed suctioning system & change
system as clinically indicated.

75
Suctioning Equipment Issues
• Keep ETT cuff pressure at desired level
(~20 cm H2O)
• Keep end of vent circuit, suction
catheter/Yankauer, & manual ventilation bag off
the bed. Hang them up or place them on a
sterile paper.
• Keep vent circuit free from accumulated water
by draining away from the patient.
• Change suction canister and mouth care kit
every 24h.

38
PUD Prophylaxis
• Reduces acid production in stomach & the
consequent risk of bleeding.
• Some studies suggest increased rates of VAP in
patients on prophylactic treatments, with a trend
toward lower VAP with sucralfate (vs. H2
blockers).
• Proton pump inhibitors may be more efficacious
than H2 blockers and sucralfate, but there is a
paucity of data comparing the various regimens.

77
PUD Prophylaxis
2008 Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines:
“We recommend that stress ulcer prophylaxis using a
H2 blocker (grade 1A) or proton pump inhibitor (grade 1B)
be given to patients with severe sepsis to prevent upper
gastrointestinal (GI) bleed.
The benefit of prevention of upper GI bleed must be
weighed against the potential effect of an increased
stomach pH on development of ventilator-associated
pneumonia.”

39
DVT Prophylaxis
Systematic review of risks of venous
thromboembolism and its prevention:
“We recommend, on admission to the intensive care
unit, all patients be assessed for their risk of VTE.
Accordingly, most patients should receive
thromboprophylaxis (Grade 1A).”

Other Preventive Strategies

80
40
Route of Intubation
• 2 routes of intubation: oral & nasal
• Orotracheal route is associated with reduced
VAP (vs. nasotracheal route)
– Also, orotracheal route has less sinusitis
– VAP incidence higher if patient develops sinusitis
REC: Orotracheal route of intubation should be
used whenever possible.
Holzapfel L et al. Crit Care Med 1993;21:1132-8.
© 2008 TMIT
81
Ventilator Circuit Changes
• The frequency of ventilator circuit changes does
not affect VAP
• 2 trials show no benefit
• Cost considerations favor less frequent changes
REC: Do not schedule ventilator circuit changes.
– However, do provide a new circuit for each patient and
any time the circuit becomes soiled or damaged.

82
41
Airway Humidification
• No VAP difference between heat and moisture
exchanger (HME) vs. heated humdifier
• However, if using HME, less frequent changes
may lead to slightly less VAP, and it is cheaper.
REC: If using HME, change every 5-7 days, or as
clinically indicated.

Subglottic Suctioning

© 2008 TMIT
85
Subglottic Suctioning
• Several trials show reduced VAP with use of a
tube that drains subglottic secretions.
– Most cost-effective when used in patients who are anticipated
to require prolonged MV.
• Caveat: animal studies suggest possible
tracheal injury from certain tubes (due to
erosion by the suction port).
REC: Consider a tube with subglottic secretion
drainage if the patient is expected to be
intubated > 3 days.

86
43
Early Tracheostomy
• Early (vs. late) tracheostomy does not affect
incidence of VAP.
– The few positive studies had methodological issues.
• Even if a small benefit is demonstrated, the risk &
cost of tracheostomy need to be justified.
REC: Do not perform early tracheostomy if the only
reason is VAP prevention.
© 2008 TMIT
87
Kinetic Beds
• Immobility is associated with increased VAP.
– Kinetic beds employ rotational therapy to prevent and
treat respiratory complications.
• Meta-analysis of kinetic beds Æ decreased VAP.
– No effect on ventilator days, ICU days, or mortality.
REC: Consider use of kinetic beds to reduce VAP.
Goldhill DR et al. Am J Crit Care 2007;16:50-61.
© 2008 TMIT
88
44
Prophylactic Antibiotics
• Some studies suggest prophylactic antibiotics may
decrease VAP:
– Intranasal mupirocin (Staph aureus)
– Aerosolized
– Intravenous
• No effect on MV days, ICU days, or mortality.
– Potential for emergence of antibiotic resistance.
REC: Do not use prophylactic antibiotics.

89
Tips For Success
• Set an Aim: “Improve the health & well-being of
ventilated patients by reducing the VAP rate.”
• Set goal: “Reduce VAP rate by 50% by August
2008.” “Implement use of ventilator bundle with
> 95% reliability.”
• Plan Well: Adopt a change methodology that
accelerates improvement.
• Benchmark: Use a national benchmark (e.g.,
National Healthcare Safety Network)
