- The incidence of HAP is 5-15 cases per 1 000 hospital admissions. [1]
- The incidence of VAP is 6 to 20 times more than in patients without mechanical support.
- HAP and VAP are nosocomial infections with a high mortality in contrast with other nosocomial infections.
- This higher mortality rate is associated with MDR pathogens
