The Critical Care QI Team is monitoring VAPs in the ICUs. This project is in collaboration with CCVMS which is a cross Canada ICU collaborative project.

Data Collection Instructions

For all ICU patients except STB_CICU & STB_ACCU:

If a patient

• meet all criteria of a Acquired Diagnosis / Complication of VAP while in your unit

then

• Contact QI Officer & Local Manager. Use the "generate email" button include date of VAP
• make the following entry in tmp:

• Project: QAInf
• Item: VAP
• date_var: date (no time) positive sputum culture was sent to micro lab.

If a sputum culture is no longer a defining feature of VAP, do we need to change this to something else? We would definitely need to allow for not having a sputum culture date.
