Abstract

Ventilator associated pneumonia currently in vogue seems to have some pitfalls as far as the nomenclature is concerned and thus it imparts an erroneous impression to the reader. As the driving force is in fact the ventilator, the phraseology should preferably be changed to ventilator induced pneumonia to convey the in depth meaning of the term thus evading the terminology currently in practice. A new and emerging paradigm dealing with all side effects of mechanical ventilation can be helpful to solve this etymological conflict. © The Author(s). 2017
