Abstract

       The purpose of this study was to determine factors related to incidence of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia at Hua Hin hospital, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province by studying  retrospective information from medical records. The sample was 430 patients on ventilators from January to December 2021 at  Hua Hin hospital. The data were collected using data record form and were then analyzed for finding descriptive statistics and the chi-square test method. The study results revealed as follows:

            1. Reintubation more than 1 time, duration of indwelling ventilator, and length of  stay in the hospital were statistically significantly associated with pneumonia  (p<0.001)

            2. Obtaining sleeping pills was statistically significantly associated with the incidence of pneumonia among the patients with ventilators (p<0.01).

            3. Other factors including age, gender, congenital disease were not significantly associated with the incidence of pneumonia among the patients with ventilators.

       According to the study findings, the use of non-invasive ventilation should be encouraged to reduce the incidence of intubation, the risk of reintubation more than one time . Moreover,the use of a weaning protocol should be promoted  to reduce the day of mechanical intubation.
