Summary

This study tests whether training NICU teams on a bundle of best practices (like mouth care and proper suctioning) can reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia in newborns. About 1500 babies on breathing machines will be tracked before and after the training. The goal is to standardize care and lower infection rates.
