Abstract: Background: In the medical field there are different types ventilators available. Mechanical ventilator is a common lifesaving intervention in the emergency department (ED) Mechanical ventilation is used to assist or replace spontaneous breathing. A ventilator as designed to move breathable air in and out of the lungs which helps in breathing for a patient who is physically unable to breath or breathing insufficiently. The drinker and show tank type ventilator of 1929 was one of the first negative-pressure machines widely used for mechanical ventilation. It is known as the iron lung. A vacuum pump fabricated a negative pressure up to the chamber which result in expansion of the patient chest. This change in geometry reduces the intra pulmonary pressure and allows the air into the patient?s lung. When the vacuum is released, the negative pressure applied to the chest drops to zero and the elastic recoil of the chest and lungs are permitted for passive ventilation. Now a days most of the patients are provided with positive pressure ventilator. Methods: The present study is experimental one to assess the knowledge among B. Sc. nursing part III students regarding nursing care of ventilator associated pneumonia. An evaluative approach research approach used for present study. In this study a pre test post test research design was carried out to assess the effect of planned teaching programme. Result: The mean percentage pre-test score (56.80%) is highest in the area of diagnosis of VAP and (24.28%) is the least in the area of general Introduction of Respiratory System. Mean percentage post-test is maximum (98.97%) in the area of pneumonia and causative organism and least (84.62%) in the area of diagnosis of VAP.
