Description
Introduction: Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the application of
a ventilatory support without resorting to invasive methods. Today
it’s considered a credible therapeutic option, with enough scientific
evidence to support its application in various situations and clinical
settings related to the treatment of acute respiratory disease, as
well as chronic respiratory disease.
Objectives: Characterize patients undergoing NIV admitted in Unit
Intermediate Care (ICU) in the period from October 1st 2015 to June
30th 2016.
Methods: Prospective study conducted in ICU between October
2015 and June 2016. In this study were included all patients hospitalized in this unit (ICU) and in that time period a sample of 57
participants was obtained. As data collection instruments we used
a questionnaire for sociodemographic and clinical data and the
Braden scale.
Results: Participants were mostly male 38 (66.7%), the average age
69.5 ± 11.3 years, ranging between 43 and 92 years. They weighed
on average 76.6 kg (52 and 150), with an average body mass index
of 28.5 kg/m2
(20 to 58.5). With skin intact 28 (49.1%) with abnormal perfusion 12 (21.1%), with altered sensitivity 11 (19.3%) and a
high risk of ulcer on the scale of Braden 37 (65%). The admission
diagnosis was respiratory failure 33 (57.3%) and had different backgrounds. We used reused mask 53 (93.0%), the average time of NIV
was 7.1 days (1-28), 4.8 days of hospitalization (1-18) and an average of 7.8 IPAP pressure. 11 (19.3%) of the participants developed
face ulcer pressure.
