    AbstractAirway damage in intensive care unit patients at surgical hospitals is a common manifestation of nosocomial pyoseptic infections. Artificial ventilation (AV) apparatuses used in a therapeutic and diagnostic process are vital to the transmission of their pathogens. The paper shows that various units and surfaces of the apparatuses are differently contaminated with nosocomial microorganisms. In this connection, their microbial contamination should be evaluated without fail when the higher rate of nosocomial respiratory tract infections is recorded in patients. Decontamination of the most important parts and surfaces of AV apparatuses and control over medical staff's hand scrubbing can upgrade the quality of measures to prevent respiratory tract infections in patients.
