VAP prolongs intensive care stay and increased risk of other complications associated with it. Lou sole M et al (2011) published a study about the volume of oropharyngeal secretion and the importance subglottic suctioning in prevention of VAP. Lou Sole et al (2011) suggests that removal of secretion from the subbglottic region or above the endotracheal tube cuff will prevent the aspiration of the secretion and thus VAP Mr. was intubated at the site of accident and was mechanically ventilated and continued to be ventilated for more than 72 hours.

It can be linked to other factors such as increased life expectancy and a decrease in birth rates that happened in the same time frame, which were also influential on the consequences of decreasing death rates. One of the reasons why death rates have decreased in the last 100 years or so is largely because of medical improvements that have been a consequence of technological advancements. These advancements in technology have allowed new treatments to be found to cure diseases that were previously incurable and deadly beforehand. This has also paved the way to new illnesses being discovered and cures being found for them, which also ties to medical improvements and the decrease in death rates.
