| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Description | This cluster of papers focuses on the management, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. It covers topics such as antibiotic therapy, healthcare-associated infections, respiratory tract decontamination, nosocomial infections, and microbial investigation. The papers also discuss the impact of VAP on patient outcomes and the implementation of evidence-based guidelines for preventing VAP. |
