ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of the bundle of care interventions in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in the mechanic ventilated patients.Methods The randomized controlled trials (RCT) on the bundle of care interventions in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) were collected using the databases of PubMed,Medline,Embase,Cochrane library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Wanfang Periodical Databases and Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Databases (VIP),data were analyzed by RevMan5.0 software.Results Ten RCTs were included in the study.The results of Meta-analysis revealed that the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia,mechanical ventilation time,ICU length of hospital stay and the mortality rate in the intervention group were different from the control group,the difference had statistical significance.Conclusions The bundle of care interventions can reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia,mechanical ventilation time,ICU length of hospital stay and the mortality rate.
