Helpful review. Hitting all the highlights. Presenting a case study would bridge the content to care at the bedside. A clear table of references should be provided at the end of the lessons.
Sybille Nelson, NP
Very helpful and clarified.

Explanation on preventive was good. But no explanation on diagnosis and treatment. Please VAP is not only about prevention its about diagnosis and treatment too
