Özet
Background Elevating the head of bed (HOB) to 30° to 45° is an evidence‐based recommendation to prevent ventilator‐associated pneumonia (VAP). However, the available scientific data are inconclusive regarding the optimal degree of HOB elevation which is safe and effective for mechanically ventilated patients. Aims and objectives To investigate the impact a of semirecumbent position at 30° and 45°on the development of VAP as compared with aHOB elevation to <30°. Methods A 5‐day, single centre, prospective, randomized, controlled, parallel group, three‐arm study was conducted in adult patients on mechanical ventilation staying in the intensive care unit. Patients were randomly placed in <30°, 30°, or 45° HOB elevation position on the day of intubation and followed up for 5 days. They were assessed in terms of the development of microbiologically confirmed VAP (by the culture of endotracheal …
