Description

The purpose of this research paper is to look into the role that health care workers play in the prevention of pneumonia. I wanted to see the different techniques that could be used to help the patients that were mechanically ventilated not develop pneumonia. Pneumonia is a problem for everyone, patients, families, and staff. There are many different tools that hospitals can use to help ensure that they are doing all they can to help fight for their patients when they are sick. Different people play different parts in the process of taking care of the mechanically ventilated.
