The study involved a retrospective analysis of data of patients admitted to a hospital intensive care unit (ICU) to determine the effectiveness of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) care bundle in decreasing the occurrence of VAP cases. The inclusion criteria include all adult patients in ICU irrespective of the origin department; mechanically ventilated with an endotracheal tube (ETT); and the absence or presence of VAP | The investigation involved a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs and quasi-experimental studies to examine the efficacy of ventilator bundle in severely ill pediatrics. It involved a search of five electronic databases, including Web-of-Science, OvidSP, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library RCTs on the application of VAP care bundle to decrease the odds of VAP in mechanically ventilated
