Prevention of pneumonia associated with invasive mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit

Abstract

Introduction: The figures associated with pneumonia to mechanical ventilation (NAVM) is from 30% to 70% in morbidity and mortality rates and its incidence is reflected in an increase in hospital stay and care costs for health institutions.
Methods: The study was carried out using a research strategy in the online search engines of academic Google, Pubmed, Lilacs, Scielo, Cochrane, CINAHL, with inclusion criteria and 143.040 were found; 86 articles that met the search for Ventilation Associated Pneumonia (Healthcare - Associated Pneumoniae), Artificial Respiration associated with nursing care (Respiration Artificial, Nursing Care) were attached to the study.
Results: The following main focused activities were determined To prevent VAP, strict hand hygiene with alcohol-based products (ABP) before manipulating the airway. Control and maintenance of the pressure of the pneumotamponade (> 20 cm H2O). Avoid supine position at 0°, whenever possible. Aspiration of subglottic secretions. Promote the process of early extubation, safely. Oral hygiene with chlorhexidine (0.12-0.2%).
Conclusions: Nursing activities reduce the incidence of pneumonia in Mechanical Ventilation. Continuous training must be promulgated to provide care that is validated by scientific evidence.
