Abstract：Objective To study the risk factors and the pathogen of neonatal ventilator-associated pneumoni-a.Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data of 95 neonates patients who accepted mechanical ventilation was conducted.Results The infection incidence rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP) was 36.84%(35/95). Statistical analysis showed that different gestational age , birth weight and ventilation duration were the risk factors as-sociated with the development of VAP ( P<0.05 or P<0.01 ) .Main pathogenic bacteria were gram negative bacilli (75.6%), of which the first three kinds were Klebsiella pneumoniae (26.8%), Escherichia coli(22%) and Acine-tobacter baumannii (12.2%) and most of them were drug resistant bacteria .Conclusion The incidence rate of VAP in neonates high , the risk factors should been reduced and controled , rational use of drugs is done according to patho-gens and drug sensitivity results .
