    Objective: To systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of the bundle to reduce ventilator-associated pneumonia in critically ill patients. Materials and Methods: Observational and retrospective systematic review, subjected to critical reading and using the GRADE evaluation system to identify the level of evidence of the published articles in the following databases: Epistemonikos, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Medigraphic, Scielo. Of the 10 articles systematically reviewed, 20% (n=2/10) are systematic reviews, 20% (n=2/10) are quasi-experimental, and 60% (n=6/10) are cohort studies. The studies are from the United States (20%), China (20%), Saudi Arabia (20%), followed by Canada (10%), Australia (10%), South Korea (10%), and Egypt (10%). Results: 100% (n=10/10) indicate that the bundle is effective in reducing ventilator-associated pneumonia in critically ill patients. Conclusion: The bundle is effective in reducing ventilator-associated pneumonia in critically ill patients.
