Abstract

Objectives: describes some subclinical features of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) in COVID-19 patients during the 4th outbreak. Participants and methods: a cross-sectional study on 151 VAP patients treated in the National Hospital for Tropical Diseases, collected subclinical variations and characteristics of fungal and bacterial superinfection in COVID-19 of VAP patients. Results: The average white blood value is 11.31±5.36 G/l of which WBC>10G/l accounts for 54.3%; D-dimer ≥500 ng/l accounted for 83.8% with Med (IQR) of 1311 (3101).  Increased PCT,  CRP, and decrease albumin are common in most patients. It is common to increased urea, creatinin and blood glucose. Cause of VAP was fungal and bacterial superinfections accounted for 80.1%, the fungal-caused of VAP accounted for 19.9%.
