Abstract：Objective To study the influent factors and incidence of neonatal ventilator-associated pneumo-nia( VAP) and the measures of preventing neonatal VAP.Methods A retrospective analysis of 133 neonates with ventilator treatment more than 48 hours was conducted.The incidence of VAP was studied in 58 cases with VAP( the study group) and in 75 cases without VAP( the control group) .The relationships between the incidence of VAP and birth weight, gestational age, times of cannula and time of mechanic ventilation were studied.The pathogenic bacteria of VAP were isolated.Results The incidence of VAP was 43.6%in the neonates with ventilator treatment more than 48 hours.Gram-Negative bacilli were the main pathogenic bacteria.The higher incidence of neonatal VAP, the youn-ger gestational age, the lower birth weight, the more times of tracheal cannula and the longer time of mechanic venti-lation the neonates got.Conclusion Shortening the time of mechanic ventilation, reducing the times of tracheal can-nula and using antibacterials according to germiculture and drug sensitivity resuits, may reduce the incidence of neo-natal VAP.
