Data Collection Instructions

For all ICU patients except STB_CICU & STB_CCU:

If a patient
  • develops a Complication of VAP while in your unit
  • the VAP is newly acquired on your unit and not already reported at different unit
  • there is a positive culture (no positive culture, don't code)
then
  • Project: QAInf
  • Item: VAP
  • date_var: date (no time) positive sputum culture was sent to micro lab.

Don't use TMP as notes

Please do not enter this TMP until you have actually confirmed a DX of VAP exists. Use the Notes field on you laptop as a reminder if needed.

Patient from other ICU with Central Line and possibly VAP

If Patient already has a VAP present on admission to your unit:

  • in the admitting diagnosis field, enter VAP.
  • do not enter into the Tmp Project.
  • if the patient is from another ICU in the city, email the collector at that site to check if VAP was captured as a complication at that site.
