Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  intermitent subglottic suction   We plan to conduct a study with a group of patients receiving intermittent subglottic suction every 4-6 hours with standard ET care vs group receiving standard ET care. These suction will be sent for cultures and to match wether ET aspirate and these subglottic secretions have same organism growing if patient is suspected to develop VAP( fever, thick or purulent ET secretions and new infiltrate on chest x ray or CT scan. The other comparator group won’t receive any subglottic suction.. The patient will be observed for this study for 14 days 
Comparator Agent  Intermittent subglottic suction   The comparator group won’t receive any intermittent suctioning. In this study model these comparator agent/ control will receive only standard endotracheal tube care instead of intermittent subglottic suction and standard ET care in intervention group. Patient will have a follow up of 14 days. These patient will receive treatment as standard treatment protocol for given disease.
