    Author: Torres A, el-Ebiary M, Rañó A.
    Journal: Clin Chest Med; 1999 Jun; 20(2):287-301, viii. PubMed ID: 10386257.
    Abstract:
    Ventilator-associated pneumonia is the most common infectious respiratory complication in intensive care unit patients, particularly those needing mechanical ventilation. Ventilator-associated pneumonia represents a challenging problem in terms of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Nosocomial sinusitis is another respiratory infection, not uncommon in mechanically ventilated patients. This type of infection has to be suspected in nasally intubated patients and may be a hidden focus of fever and sepsis.
