DURAN RODRIGUEZ, Reudis et al. Pneumonia behavior associated with mechanical ventilation in intensive care of adults. Rev. inf. cient. [online]. 2018, vol.97, n.5, pp. 911-922. ISSN 1028-9933.

Introduction:

pneumonias associated with ventilation cause great concern to physicians who pose serious diagnostic difficulties which in turn often motivate the making of disproportionate therapeutic decisions that favor the genesis of antimicrobial resistance.

Objective:

assess the behavior of pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation as an indicator of quality of care in the Unit of Intensive Adult Therapy of the General Teaching Hospital "Octavio de la Concepción y de la Pedraja" of Baracoa between January-December 2015.

Method:

a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out. From a universe of 67 patients, a sample of 27 patients was taken by the simple random method, which developed this disease associated with ventilation according to age groups, sex, conditions that led to its use, time of onset of symptoms and microbiological results.

Results:

the underlying diseases that most affected were cerebrovascular diseases followed by respiratory distress and severe sepsis. In the first nine days, the symptoms appeared. Greater isolation of Gram negative germs was obtained.

Conclusions:

the behavior of the pneumonias associated to ventilation was given in the male sex, older than 60 years, they were associated with a greater frequency to the cerebrovascular diseases, in the majority the symptoms appeared between 4 and 6 days; Staphylococcus epidermidis and Klebsiellap pneumoniae were the germs that were most frequently isolated in these patients.

Palabras clave : pneumonia associated with ventilation; cerebrovascular diseases; artificial mechanical ventilation; microbiological examinations; intensive care.
