Critical care management in Hong Kong has changed dramatically since the construction of the first intensive care unit (ICU) in 1967. Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) remains a major concern in ICUs, frequently resulting in multi-organ failure (MOF) and increased mortality rates. Despite sparse data, recent research indicates a significant frequency of VAP in Hong Kong, emphasising the necessity of prevention strategies. This research investigates the historical development of critical care in Hong Kong and how it affects VAP outcomes. The paper evaluates the effectiveness of preventive measures such as the ventilator bundle, which includes semi-recumbent positioning, daily oral care with chlorhexidine, and daily sedation interruption (DSI) with spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs), in lowering VAP rates and improving patient outcomes. The findings highlight the crucial importance of critical care in influencing VAP preventive methods and, ultimately, improving patient care in Hong Kong's ICUs.
