Hyperoxemia and Ventilator-associated Pneumonia

Impact of Hyperoxemia on Incidence of Ventilator-associated Pneumonia

The aim of this prospective cohort single-center observational study is to determine the impact of hyperoxemia on ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) occurrence. SpO2 will be continuously recorded in order to determine the percentage of time spent with hyperoxemia. Patients with VAP will be prospectively identified. Patient characteristics and risk factors for VAP will be prospectively collected. Oxidant stress will be prospectively investigated in study patients: glutathion peroxidase (GPX), plasmatic superoxyde dismutase (SOD), total plasmatic antioxidant status (SAT) and urinary 8-isoprostanes will be performed at ICU admission, once a week, and at VAP occurrence. Patients with VAP will be compared with those with no VAP
