New Research Awards - Fall 2011

sVAP - Streamlined Surveillance for Ventilator -Associated Pneumonia - The Infectious Diseases Division is participating in a new study funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through Harvard Pilgrim Health Care to compare the conventional ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) definition to a new streamlined surveillance definition (sVAP).  A new streamlined surveillance definition (sVAP) has been shown to be objective, efficient, and a potent predictor of patient outcomes but the feasibility of using this definition for routine operational surveillance in diverse settings and the capacity of the definition to reflect meaningful improvements in patient care have not yet been evaluated.  Washington University and Missouri-Baptist Medical Center will be participating in a prospective, multi-center comparison of conventional versus sVAP surveillance to determine the feasibility and clinical significance of streamlined surveillance in diverse settings under operational conditions.  Dr. Hilary Babcock is the project Principal Investigator at Washington University.

BUGG - Benefits of Universal Glove and Gowning Study - The Infectious Diseases Division is participating in new study funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) through Yale New Haven Health System to study the benefits of universal glove and gowning.  The overall goal of this project is to determine the effectiveness of universal glove and gowning procedures in reducing healthcare-associated infection (HAI) rates and acquisition of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).  Dr. Dave Warren is the project Principal Investigator at Washington University
