 Ventilator-associated pneumonia, VAP, is a serious complication of critical illness requiring mechanical ventilation, which increases the risk of prolonged hospital stay, disability, and even death. Early diagnosis and targeted treatment are essential to reduce mortality rates. However, there are limited diagnostic tools available in many intensive care units, making it difficult to quickly identify the causative organism. Sonication is a promising technique for disrupting biofilms in endotracheal tubes, allowing for easier identification of pathogens. A prospective, observational study was conducted in a single intensive care unit to evaluate the efficacy of sonication in collecting samples from endotracheal tubes. The results showed that sonication was successful in dislodging biofilms and allowed for faster identification of pathogenic microorganisms compared to traditional methods.
