Reported as
Number of cases of Pneumonia, ventilator-associated (VAP) per 1000 Ventilator-days
Significance
- VAP is a device-associated infection, the device being the artificial airway-ventilator-circuit system. VAP is associated with worse patient outcomes and higher costs.
- Factors affecting the incidence of VAP include those from patients (severity of illness, comorbidities, etc.) and processes of care.
- VAP rate is a measure of the incidence of VAP.
Sampling Plan / Procedure
Inclusion Criteria
- 100% sampling for all patients on invasive mechanical ventilation as indicated by presence of T - Invasive mechanical ventilation at 2300 hrs (TISS Item)
- 100% sampling for all cases with VAP incidence following the criteria listed in VAP - Ventilator Associated Pneumonia
Exclusion Criteria
Exclude non-invasive ventilation.
Frequency
- Recording the date the VAP occurred.
- Daily recording of dates of patient being on invasive mechanical ventilation at 2300 HR
- Total number of ventilated days are calculated and reported on a monthly, quarterly or yearly basis based on the daily data.
- Time Reference is calendar month, quarter or year.
Definition and Derivation
Numerator
Num = Total VAP Cases in a calendar period
Denominator
Denom =Total Vent Days on the same period as the numerator
Formula
VAP Rate = Num / Denom * 1000
Example
- Time Reference: Calendar Dates from Jan 1, 2017 to March 31, 2017
- Total VAP cases = 5
- Total days patients are on invasive ventilator at 2300 HR = 688
- VAP Rate per 1000 days = (5 / 688) * 1000 = 7.3%
Data Sources
- Daily data for Invasive are taken on TISS28 element T - Invasive mechanical ventilation at 2300 hrs (TISS Item). The TISS form is being marked daily by ICU bed side nurses and quality checked by the Database Data Collectors. Starting Oct 1, 2020, the above TISS28 element is collected as part of the CCI Collection but not at 2300HR , before this they were part of TISS28 Data.mdb. The presence of Vent at 2300 hour is imputed or assigned by inference using this method - if patient is present at 23HR and the TISS28 element T18 - Invasive Mechanical Ventilation (TISS Item) is marked, then the patient is assumed to have ventilator at 2300 hour.
- Starting 2019, VAP is part of the ICD10 collection with code J95.88 Pneumonia, ventilator-associated (VAP) under the Acquired Diagnosis / Complication. The date is the Dx Date of the VAP - Ventilator Associated Pneumonia diagnosis
- Before 2019, the dates when VAP occurred were taken from the Tmp project QA Infection.
