A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at "Amalia Simoni" Surgical Clinical Educational Hospital of Camagüey, from January 2002 to December 2004, with the objective to know the behavior of the associated pneumonia to the mechanical ventilation.  The universe of the event was represented for the patients that received mechanical ventilation in the intensive care service and the ones that developed nosocomial pneumonia related to the ventilation, from which a sample of 72 patients was designed. Endotracheal secretions cultures were carried out through the quantitative tracheal aspirate. The cerebrovascular illness was the main cause that motivated the mechanical ventilation.  The 76.5% of the patients developed the infection in the first six days of ventilation, the Acinetobacter and the Enterobacter spp were the most frequent germs. Lethality rate behaved in the 61.1%.
