ABSTRACT
Background Ventilation associated pneumonia is among principal causes of nosocomial infections. It impairs local defense
mechanisms; increases cost and hospital stay. The aim of this research was identified risk factors to develop ventilation associated
pneumonia.
Patients and methods It included a cohort of 101 neonates undergoing ventilation in two years at a public hospital pediatric
specialty of Mexico City. Demographic data were recorded, ventilation and evolution. Associated pneumonia was seen after 48
h of ventilation, with clinical and radiological criteria.
Results 17% had ventilator associated pneumonia. It was more frequent with less gestational age, number reintubations, duration
of ventilation, supplementary oxygen days and length of hospital stay (All with p ‹ 0.01). Risk was increased in male (OR
7.1, IC 95% 1.5 - 33) and very low birth weight (OR 3.5; IC 95% 1 - 12). In newborns with pneumonia also increased the risk of
bronchopulmonary dysplasia (OR 11.3; IC95% 3.5 - 36) and death (OR 5.4; IC 95% 1.6 - 18).
Conclusions Infant newborns
under mechanical ventilation and prematurity, very low birth weight, male with many reintubations and different tubes are in high
risk of ventilator associated pneumonia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and death.
