Increasing number of intensive care unit admissions
Rise in population vulnerability to health deteriorations, availability of improved critical care facilities and aging populations contribute to increasing ICU admissions in hospitals worldwide. ICUs commonly treat patients suffering major trauma injuries, undergoing complex surgeries or battling life-threatening illnesses. Vast majority of patients in ICUs require ventilation support due to respiratory failure, which involves endotracheal intubation. As per some estimates, over 4 million patients are admitted to ICUs annually in the United States. With improving access to healthcare services in developing nations, the global ICU caseload has seen consistent expansion over the past decade.
Prolonged ventilation further increases the threat of hospital-acquired lung infections like ventilator-associated pneumonia. It is one of the most prevalent healthcare-associated infections accounting for over 25% of total HAI burden. Around 10% of all hospitalized patients get into the ICU at some point, thus, it is important to reduce infection rates. Hence, hospitals are increasingly employing anti-infective endotracheal tubes as these significantly reduce VAP occurrence and help ICUs adhere to stringent patient safety and hygiene guidelines.
