Response - NO
Brief Summary   This prospective randomised study aims to contribute valuable evidence to the ongoing debate surrounding the efficacy of continuous and intermittent subglottic suction in preventing VAP in ICU patients. The findings will have implications for clinical practices and may help improve patient outcomes and reduce the burden of VAP in critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation.
