STB VAP Committee

• As part of the VAP committee we help to identify the VAP's, notify the managers, CRN's educators and others that will call a SWOOP as soon as possible after identifying a VAP. This is done to identify the possible reasons for the VAP and all aspects of the VAP bundle are reviewed at a SWOOP. We also often help to complete the SWOOP form template regarding the specific VAP criteria identified in the individual cases. We speak with the infection control nurse or even sometimes microbiologists to help clarify difficult cases. I have contributed to the VAP clinical practice guidelines being currently written. I have assisted in writing and clarifying the wiki VAP criteria and CLR_BSI. --LKolesar 13:53, 2017 September 21 (CDT)
