KIMBERLY-CLARK CRITICAL CARE
For critical care professionals dedicated to preventing Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP), Kimberly-Clark is committed to providing a range of innovative and effective clinical solutions. These include Microcuff *endotracheal tubes for adults and paediatrics, non-bronchoscopic lavage catheters (mini-BAL), closed suction systems and complete oral care kits.
Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia is a top clinical concern in healthcare today, associated with high incidence rates, mortality and costs.
- VAP may account for up to 60% of all deaths, due to Healthcare-Associated Infections
- Approximately 8 to 28% of critical care patients develop VAP
- Hospital-associated pneumonia patients have a mortality rate of 20%-33%
It’s worth taking measures to prevent even one case of VAP.
