Abstract
Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a common complication that is defined as a respiratory tract infection caused by being intubated for more that 48-72 hours and occurs in 27% of patients in the ICU (Shanmugananth et al., 2022). Understanding ways to prevent this serious illness will lead to health promotion and better patient outcomes. If the solution is as simple as changing the patient's position it would increase good outcomes and comfort during care.
