Early-onset pneumonia occurs within the first 4 days of hospitalization, whereas late-onset VAP develops 5 or more days after admission.Late-onset pneumonias are usually associated with multidrug-resistant (MDR) organisms.

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is pneumonia that develops 48 hours or longer after mechanical ventilation is given by means of an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy.
HAP increases a patient's hospital stay by approximately 7-9 days and can increase hospital costs by an average of $40,000 per patient.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a complication in as many as 28% of patients who receive mechanical ventilation.
Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is pneumonia that develops 48 hours or longer after admission to a hospital.
HAP is the second most common nosocomial infection.
Continuous aspiration of subglottic secretions reduces the risk of early-onset VAP.
Results of a randomized, controlled trial showed a significant reduction in VAP (relative risk reduction of 42%), including late-onset VAP, when subglottic secretion drainage was performed while patients were on mechanical ventilation.
Passive humidifiers or heat moisture exchangers are preferred to reduce colonization of the ventilator circuit.
Ventilatory-circuit condensation should be prevented from entering the endotracheal tubes and any inline nebulizer.
