Ventilator Bundle Checklist

​Dominican Hospital
Santa Cruz, California, USA

 

Use the Ventilator Bundle Checklist to help track your organization's compliance with implementing each element of the IHI Ventilator Bundle. The greater the level of compliance with all of the items in the bundle, the better the reduction in the ventilator-associated pneumonia rate.

 
*NOTE: The checklist is particularly effective if used in conjunction with the Daily Goals Worksheet that can be completed during daily rounds on the patient.

  • ICU Daily Goals Worksheet
    The goal of the ICU Daily Goals Worksheet is to improve communication among residents and nurses about the daily goals of care for patients in the ICU and reduce ICU length of stay.
  • Ventilator Bundle Compliance
    Compliance with the Ventilator Bundle is defined as the percentage of intensive care patients on mechanical ventilation for whom all four of the elements of the Ventilator Bundle are documented on daily goals sheets and/or elsewhere in the medical record.
  • Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP) Rate per 1,000 Ventilator Days
    Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is defined as pneumonia in a patient intubated and ventilated at the time of or within 48 hours before the onset of the event. (There is no minimum period of time that the ventilator must be in place in order for the pneumonia to be considered ventilator-associated.) The VAP rate is defined as the number of ventilator-associated pneumonias per 1,000 ventilator days
