Ventilator-associated events (VAEs) are one of the main sources of concern in critically ill patients due to the high frequency and mortality. We conducted this analysis to compare the effects of open endotracheal suctioning system with closed one on the incidences of VAEs in adult patients receiving mechanical ventilation (MV).
