Ventilator associated pneumonia is common in adult intensive care units. Pediatric intensive care unit also faces the issue of VAP. Various factors (exogenous and endogenous) are responsible for developing VAP in critically ill patients. Diagnosing the VAP is also challenge to intensivist. Antibiotic resistance is major concern in the treatment of VAP and hence preventive strategies are key factors in management of VAP.
