***My understanding is that those are '''guidelines'''even if it says criteria. I have no problem with the 48 hour rule, the infiltrate present and the treatment with antibiotics. The second set of rules I think are unrealistic. For many reasons. If they are ventilated for 48hours, have a new infiltrate and a bug growing and the doctors are calling it VAP I think we should regardless of our guidelines.If we don't get this right it will look like some sites are over reporting and some under reporting.I'll add it to the team meeting agenda[[User:GHall|GHall]] 18:17, 9 September 2011 (CDT)
