这是美国CDC指导医疗机构进行VAP监测指引中的一段话：
Definitions: Pneumonia (PNEU) is identified by using a combination of radiologic, clinical and laboratory criteria. The following pages outline the various assessment criteria that may be used for meeting the surveillance definition of healthcare-associated pneumonia (Tables 2-5 and Figures 1 and 2). Report PNEUs that are ventilator-associated (i.e., patient was intubated and ventilated at the time of or within 48 hours before the onset of the event).
NOTE: There is no minimum period of time that the ventilator must be in place in order for the PNEU to be considered ventilator-associated.
也就是说，如果患者发生肺炎的时候正在使用呼吸或48小时内使用过呼吸机，均可以认定是呼吸机相关肺炎。没有限定呼吸机最短要使用多长时间才算是呼吸机相关肺炎。
