[2025-10-02T00:02:36.506905] [PI reasoning] **Considering prevention of VAP**

I need to answer which method is most effective for preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in critically ill patients. From systematic reviews, using chlorhexidine oral care (0.12% or 2%) significantly reduces VAP incidence when combined with standard oral hygiene procedures. Just simple oral hygiene isn't as effective. So my answer will be "Oral hygiene procedures plus chlorhexidine" (option B). I’ll conduct a quick literature search to find a proper citation.
