- Nursing care in ventilator-associated pneumonia and COVID-19: an informative intervention among nursesPublication . Rodríguez Fernández, Raquel; Baldonedo Cernuda, Ricardo Felipe; Mosteiro Díaz, Maria PilarLower respiratory infections are a group of diseases, generally caused by a virus, that compromise the lungs. It can affect children as well as adults (European Lung Foundation [ELF], 2021). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 2.6 million of people died of lower respiratory infections in 2019, being the 4th leading cause of death as well as the most fatal transmittable disease (WHO, 2020). These numbers dramatically increased later in 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic was declared worldwide (Ripa et al., 2021). Bronchitis, bronchiolitis, influenza or pneumonia are some examples of these type of infections. The latter is the most common infection-related death in European countries as well as in the United States of America (ELF, 2021).
