Munoz-Price LS - Long-term acute care hospitals (LTACHs) are health care facilities that admit complex patients with acute care needs (eg, mechanical ventilator weaning, administration of intravenous antibiotics, and complex wound care) for a mean duration of stay of 25 days. LTACH patients have been shown to have high rates of hospital-acquired infections, including central vascular catheter–associated bloodstream infection and ventilator-associated pneumonia.
