[Correlation of endotracheal tube biofilm and recurrent ventilator-associated pneumonia with Pseudomonas aeruginosa].
To determine the correlation of endotracheal tube biofilm (ETT-BF) and recurrent ventilator-associated pneumonia with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA-VAP) in long-term ventilation patients. ⋯ The close pathogenic relationship between ETT-BF and lower airway secretion suggests that adhesive colonization of ETTs may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of VAP.
