Incidence and Risk Factors of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia in Cardiac Arrest in Patients With Selective Digestive Decontamination

Conclusions: Pharyngeal colonization could be useful to identify patients at higher risk of VAP development. The low rate of VAP in this cohort suggests that SDD can prevent VAP after OHCA. Further studies are needed to explore the potential of SDD in OHCA patients.
