| The occurence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Timepoint: After 48 hours of intubation and doing intervention, each patient will be evaluated daily for the occurrence of ventilator-associated pneumonia. Method of measurement: Clinical criteria, the clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS), that described initially by Johanson et al. And suggested by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), will be used to assess the VAP. This tool consists of clinical, microbiological, physiological and radiographic evidence and allow us a numerical value to predict the presence/absence of VAP . | — |
