Semi‐recumbent position (30º to 60º) vs supine

Clinically suspected VAP · adults requiring mechanical ventilation

Semi‐recumbent position (30º to 60º) probably leads to lower clinically suspected VAP compared with supine position (0° to 10°) (moderate certainty).

Semi‐recumbent position (30º to 60º) vs supine

Microbiologically confirmed VAP · adults requiring mechanical ventilation

It is very uncertain whether semi‐recumbent position (30º to 60º) changes microbiologically confirmed VAP compared with supine position (0° to 10°) (very low certainty).
