Objective To observe the effect of target monitoring on the patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in intensive care unit (ICU), analyze the risk factors and take effective measures to reduce the VAP occurrence. Methods Target monitoring was performed on patients with ventilator in ICU from January to July 2013 (observation group), and they were compared with those patients accepting general comprehensive monitoring in ICU from January to July 2012 (control group). The incidence of VAP was compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of VAP in the observation group and the control group was 21.73‰ and 53.33‰, respectively. There was a significant difference between the observation group and the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion For patients undergoing mechanical ventilation, target monitoring can control the risk factors and incidence of VAP, adjust the interference in time, and improve the curing rate.
