VAP Solutions

Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) is a top clinical concern in healthcare today, associated with high incidence rates, mortality and costs.

  • VAP may account for up to 60% of all deaths, due to Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI).1
  • Approximately 8 to 28% of critical care patients develop VAP.2
  • Hospital-associated pneumonia patients have a mortality rate of 20%-33%. 1

It’s worth taking measures to prevent even one case of VAP.
