	Self Study
		In fact, to keep up with this pace more and more credit unions are requiring continuing education for their volunteers.
		VAP self-study courses teach the philosophical and financial topics that board members and other volunteers need to effectively perform their decision-making responsibilities.
		Directors and volunteers will strengthen their knowledge on a wide range of course topics that are critical to your credit union's success — from financial management to compliance to strategic leadership.

	CDC - Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia or Not? Contemporary Diagnosis
		VAP is most accurately diagnosed by quantitative culture and microscopic examination of lower respiratory tract secretions, which are best obtained by bronchoscopically directed techniques such as the protected specimen brush and bronchoalveolar lavage.
		VAP is more common in patients with ARDS than in those with other causes of respiratory failure (26,32,33); it occurs later and is caused by more resistant microorganisms.
		Since clinical criteria for VAP lack both sensitivity and specificity in patients with ARDS, microbiologic data are thought to play a prominent role in the diagnosis of VAP that complicates ARDS (26).

	What is a VAP Test?
		VAP stands for vertical auto profile, and it tests cholesterol measurements more specifically than previous cholesterol tests.
		A lab or doctor’s office must administer the VAP test, but it is a simple blood test, much like the previous test for cholesterol.
		If one has a family history of high cholesterol or early heart attacks, the VAP test may be particularly helpful in diagnosing early problems, like the lack of enough HDL2 or the presence of far too much Lp(a).

	VAP Cholesterol Test
		The VAP Cholesterol Test improves at-risk patient identification, assists in developing the most appropriate treatment therapy, especially combination therapy for LDL, and maintains compliance with the 2001 National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) guidelines.
		The VAP Test prevents progression of CAD by directing appropriate therapy to reverse the disease process in individuals diagnosed with heart disease.
		The VAP Test is the first expanded lipid test that complies with the new 2001 NCEP guidelines (ATPIII) by identifying the primary and secondary targets of therapy as well as the emerging risk factors.

	International Consensus Conference Clarifies VAP Management
		During their discussions, these physicians discovered that the VAP pathogens and multiresistance patterns at their institutions are substantially different not only from those reported in studies from North America, but also from one another.
		Combination therapy is required for late-onset VAP because of the risk of infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa or multiresistant Acinetobacter, Enterobacter, or Klebsiella spp.
		Vancomycin is not often used in the empiric treatment of VAP at the participants’ institutions because of its poor efficacy against methicillin-sensitive S aureus in patients with pulmonary infection due to its poor penetration, he explained.

	VAP - Voting Age Population
		The term Voting Age Population (VAP), refers to the total number of persons in the United States who are 18 years of age or older regardless of citizenship, military status, felony conviction, or mental state.
		The standard source of VAP figures is the Bureau of Census, as reported in their Current Population Reports, Series P-25.
		Extreme care must be taken when using VAP figures as a basis for measuring voter participation in elections for federal office.

	Transfusion Is a VAP Risk Factor
		The diagnosis of VAP was established based on the presence of fever, leukocytosis, purulent secretions, and a new infiltrate on the chest radiograph.
		In this subgroup, the incidence of late-onset VAP was significantly and directly associated with the amount of blood transfused.
		Although the available evidence suggests that the VAP rate is lower with passive humidification than with active humidification, other issues related to the use of passive humidifiers (eg, resistance, dead space volume, and airway occlusion risk) preclude a recommendation for the general use of passive humidifiers.

	Seven strategies to prevent VAP: a look at the evidence . Today's Hospitalist Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		But VAP prevention has sparked a fair amount of controversy, in part because there is so much debate over which clinical interventions work, and which don’t.
		There are significant differences in how VAP is prevented in North America and Europe, for example, that reflect not only differences in medical practice, but different interpretations of the medical literature.
		And while chlorhexidine washes are a relatively new area of study, the fact that these agents have reduced VAP in cardiac-surgery patients may have ramifications for ICU patients in general, even if there is not yet any direct evidence that it produces the same results in typical ICU patients.

	VAP and Thresholds for Senate Candidates
		When a Senate candidate's opponent spends personal funds that exceed certain threshold amounts, the candidate may accept increased individual contributions and, in some cases, the candidate's state and national party committees may make unlimited coordinated party expenditures on behalf of the candidate.
		The threshold amount for Senate candidates is calculated using a formula that includes the voting age population (VAP) of the state that the candidate seeks to represent, specifically: (VAP x $.04) + $150,000.
		At that spending level, the opposing candidate must file FEC Form 10 (24-Hour Notice of Expenditure from Candidate's Personal Funds) [PDF] and the individual contribution limits triple to $6,300 per election.
