Response - NO
Brief Summary   The study is a randomized controlled interventional open labelled study conducted on patients of age 18-70 years requiring mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours. 100 patients will be enrolled divide into two group of 50 patients each- Control group intubated with conventional endotracheal tube and test group with subglottic suction port endotracheal tube. Intervention will be subglottic suction done every 2 hourly in test group. Ventilator bundles will be applied in both the groups. Screening for ventilator associated pneumonia will be done for 28 days by NHSN PNU 1 definition. Primary outcome will be the incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia and secondary outcome will be duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay, Rate of microbiological positive culture in VAP patients and ICU mortality. Outcomes will be analyzed in both the groups.
