Justification for This study is undertaken to estimate Incidence of ventilator-associated
pneumonia,among intensive care unit patients in tertiary care hospital
RIMS,IMPHAL,MANIPUR with an insight into the bacterial pathogen
Longitudinal study
gn
of the 1. To determine the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia in
intensive care unit(ICU) of RIMS Hospital
2. To identify the bacterial isolates involved in ventilator associated
pneumonia
3.To determine the antibiogram of bacterial isolates causing ventilator
associated pneumonia
ts
e • According to study conducted by Somi Patro et al.Prevalence found
by them was 35%.Taking absolute allowable error as 5%.Approximate
sample size is calculated to be 364

Recruitment/ Endotracheal aspirate sample from intensive care unit patients irrespective
of age received in the Dept. of Microbiology, RIMS, Imphal
N/A
mization (if any) is planned
are used? Conventional methods in bacteriology and VITEK 2/MALDI-TOF MS
as per departmental protocol Bacteriological profile,Antibiogram
ariables? Descriptive statistics like mean, median, mode, percentage, standard deviation will
utcome variables are be used for analysing the data. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS software
and described? 21.00 version. There is no risk involve in the study.
To detect ventilator —associated pneumonia in intensive care unit patients so
ved in the that early and prompt management with specific drugs can be initiated
fits of the thereby reducing morbidity and mortality
