Introduction:

In the General Teaching Hospital “Dr. Agostinho Neto” the level of professional adherence to the clinical practice guideline before pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation has not been explored.

Objective:

To determine the level of professional adherence to this guide during 2018.

Method:

During the year 2018 a descriptive, prospective study was approved, approved by the Ethics Committee. Eight professionals participated. Theoretical, empirical and mathematical-statistical methods were used. The following variables were studied: professional opinion on the guide and its evaluation, diagnosis of professional adherence to the guide.

Results:

The total of the professionals (100.0%) expressed a mastery of their content, usefulness and said they were adhering to the guide. Four (57.1%) of the seven indicators that were considered in the evaluation adherence to the guide were evaluated in the Adequate category, one (14.2%) was evaluated in the Partially Adequate category and 2 (28.7%) in the category Unsuitable. In general, adherence to the guide was assessed in the Adequate category (85.7%).

Conclusions:

Professional adherence to the guide was adequate, which was limited by the insufficient structure for the development of the medical care process for patients treated with mechanical ventilation and particularly for those affected by this type of pneumonia.
