Pneumonia associada à ventilação mecânica: epidemiologia e impacto na evolução clínica de pacientes em uma unidade de terapia intensiva

Abstract: Objective: Although ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a major cause of nosocomial infection, its role in the prognosis of patients remains undefined. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of VAP on the clinical evolution of patients. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study involving 233 patients on mechanical ventilation (VAP group, n = 64; control group, n = 169). Primary outcomes were time on mechanical ventilation (TMV), time in ICU (TICU), overall length of hospital stay (LHS) … Show more

“…In relation to the development of VAP and gender of higher prevalence, the present study showed that, in the six months prior to implementation of the bundle, there was a prevalence of pneumonia in females, totaling 60%. This data is confirmed by the literature, and is demonstrated in another study, in which females had a prevalence of 72% (15) . However, within the six months after the implementation of the bundle, there was a prevalence of 62.5% of pneumonia in males.…”

“…5,7 Outros estudos indicaram que a manutenção do paciente em prótese ventilatória de sete a doze dias eleva a suscetibilidade para o desenvolvimento de PAV, principalmente aqueles que se encontram traqueostomizados. [9][10][11] Assim, o tratamento intensivo por si só mostra-se um risco. E a probabilidade aumenta quando há a necessidade de transporte, que gera manuseio excessivo do paciente podendo levar à instabilidade do tubo orotraqueal ou da cânula de traqueostomia.…”
