About this article:"This is an official document that summarizes a Task Force of 3 European Societies involved in the field of VAP (European Respiratory Society, European Society of Intensive Care Medicine and European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases). The document is aimed to complement some of the aspects that were not covered by the last ATS/IDSA guidelines on HAP and VAP. In addition, the panel defined 20 consensual points on definition, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of VAP. This document is potentially useful for future guidelines and to help in the clinical research of this field."
