Overview
One study reported that oropharingeal decontamination decreased the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia from 4% to less than 1% in the studied population. The cost of the intervention was less than $2500. [1] Linezolid was compared to vancomycin for the treatment of VAP, and shown cost-effectiveness as an alternative to vancomycin treatment as it had a higher cure rate and prices per treatment were similar.[2][3]
