Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia

Ventilator-associated pneumonia is a lung infection that develops in people on a breathing machine, usually more than two days after the tube is placed, when bacteria from the mouth, sinuses, or stomach slip into the lungs. Little research on supplements for it has been reviewed here so far, so there are no trial findings to report yet. Probiotics and vitamin D have drawn the most interest, but that interest rests mainly on how they might work, not on results.
