Macroporous Poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) Hydrogels as Removable Antibiotic-Capture Liners for Endotracheal Tubes Designed to Prevent Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a life-threatening condition most frequently associated with the use of endotracheal tubes (ETs). This study describes the development of macroporous p(HEMA) hydrogels as removable antimicrobial liners for ETs to help prevent VAP. Hydrogel...
