The determination and change of these risk factors have caused the drafting of strategies that may preclude the high incidence of VAP. These measures respond to the root causes of VAP prevalence, its treatment, and infection-control associated means that have been accountable for the US-wide reduction of VAP incidence (Gaynes et al, 2001).

Researchers have applied several antiseptic and antibiotic solutions, primarily chlorhexidine, but also povidone-iodine and topical antibiotics. Findings consistently indicate that oral care diminishes the incidence of VAP by reducing colonization of patients’ mouths by pathogenic bacteria and fungi, hence decreases also the mortality-rate of ICU-patients dependent on mechanical ventilators.

A satisfactory explanation for the ubiquitous socioeconomic status-health gradient remains elusive suggesting, in part, that an adequate model of this relation is probably complex and multifaceted. In this answer, we provide an overview of data indicating that income is inversely correlated with exposure to suboptimal environmental conditions.
The urinary metabolites were used as biomarkers of exposure, providing estimates of parathion/paraoxon exposure from all routes. The main disadvantage of the measurement is that multiple urine collections must be made between 12 hours Monday's post exposure to completely quantify exposure using this technique.
