title: Use of Adaptive Support Ventilation (ASV) in Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) - A Case Report.
abstract: Prolonged ventilation leads to a higher incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia(VAP) resulting in ventilator dependency, increased costs and subsequent weaning failures. Prevention and aggressive treatment of VAP along with patient friendly newer modes of ventilation like adaptive support ventilation go a long way in successful management of these cases.
