Critical Care Reports

Who We Are Banner

Brockville General Hospital publicly reports on patient safety indicators to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Our critical care performance indicators include:

Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP)

What does this indicator measure?

This indicator shows the total number of newly diagnosed Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP) cases in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after at least 48 hours of mechanical ventilation, divided by the number of ventilator days in that reporting period, multiplied by 1,000.

Ventilator days are the number of days spent on a ventilator for all patients in the ICU 18 years and older. Case count is the number of ICU patients 18 years and older diagnosed with VAP after at least 48 hours of being placed on a ventilator (occasionally or continuously).

All Ontario hospitals with intensive care units, including Brockville General Hospital, will publicly report their rates of Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP). These rates will be reported on a quarterly basis (every three months) through the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care's Critical Care Information System and posted to our website.

What is VAP?

Critically ill patients may require the assistance of a ventilator to breathe. When ventilated, microorganisms may get into the patient's lungs causing pneumonia or ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).

Central line infection (CLI)

What does this indicator measure?

This indicator shows the total number of newly diagnosed Central Line-Associated Primary Bloodstream Infection (CLI) cases in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after at least 48 hours of being placed on a central line, divided by the number of central line days in that reporting period, and multiplied by 1,000. Central line days are the number of days spent on a central line for all patients in the ICU 18 years and older. Case count is the number of ICU patients 18 years and older diagnosed with CLI after at least 48 hours of being placed on a central line during the reporting period. All Ontario hospitals with intensive care units, including Brockville General Hospital, will publicly report their rates of Central Line Bloodstream Infections (CLIs). These rates will be reported on a quarterly basis (every three months) through the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care's Critical Care Information System and posted to our website.

What is a Central Line or CLI?

A central venous catheter (or “line”) is fed through a vein and provides access to major blood vessels (e.g. aorta, pulmonary artery). A typical intravenous line or IV is not considered a central line. These lines are inserted through artificial openings in the skin, which decreases the ability of the body to keep out bacteria. A Central-line primary bloodstream infection (CLI) occurs when bacteria get into the line and spread to the bloodstream causing infection.
