Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is the second most common nosocomial infection diagnosed in mechanically ventilated patients with incidence of 20-36%, mainly caused by Gram-negative organisms in our country. Decrease in PaO 2 /FIO 2 (arterial oxygen tension/fractional inspired oxygen) is an early marker of VAP. Impaired consciousness, re-intubation and continuous sedation are the most important risk factors of VAP. We aimed to study the incidence, risk factors, clinico-microbiological
