Abstract

Objective: To analyze the functionality milestones and ventilatory mechanics data of patients admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods: This is an observational, prospective and quantitative study, with an active search in the medical records of patients over 18 years old and with more than 24 hours of mechanical ventilation after admission to the ICU, to record demographic, clinical, epidemiological, ventilatory mechanics and functionality. Results: 51 records were included, with a mean severity of 68.9 ± 20.3 in SAPS 3. 49% performed bedside sitting, while 4% progressed to walking. Mortality rate of 72.5% and 84.3% of patients remained with a mean Driving Pressure (SD) below 15, in addition to the weak correlation coefficient for MV time (r 0.025; p > 0.05), for length of stay (r 0.000; p > 0.05), for severity (r 0.01; p > 0.05) and for the outcome (r 0.265; p > 0.05), which is included in discharge or death in the ICU. Conclusion: Functionality and ventilatory mechanics milestones did not present a statistically significant association with MV duration, hospitalization, severity and mortality of patients.
