Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common healthcare-associated infection in the ICU, and its prevention is a major topic of concern because of its impact on patient outcomes and increased healthcare costs. The best prevention is to avoid or shorten the time on the ventilator as much as possible, but when mechanical ventilation is necessary due to the patient's respiratory status, several prophylactic measures should be taken. Many of the recommendations are grouped together as a prevention bundle, and this chapter describes these items. In addition to those included in the bundle, the use of an endotracheal tube with subglottic suctioning, cuff pressure management, early tracheostomy, selective gastrointestinal decontamination, nutritional administration methods, and the use of probiotics are described, including recent findings. Adherence to the bundle and implementation of each item in accordance with the individual patient's condition may lead to improved outcomes.
