ABSTRACT

Objective. To assess the incidence of complications associated with mechanical ventilation.
Material and methods. Observational, descriptive, prospective and longitudinal study in newborns. Data of intubation, ventilation and complications were recorded.
Results. 42 patients were included, the average gestational age was 35.5 days and age average of 4 days. The median duration of mechanical ventilation was 13 days; there were 2.4 complications per patient which included atelectasis (42%), accidental extubation (33.3%), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (23.8%), hypoxic episodes (21.4%), intracranial hemorrhage (21.4%), pneumonia (19%), penumothorax (16.6%), endobronchial tube blockage (11.9%), bradicardia (9.5%), airleak (9.5%), tissue damage (16.5%), tracheostomy (7.1%). There were 18 deaths, 4 of which resulted from complications of mechanical ventilation.
Conclusions. Four out of 5 patients had complications, the most severe was pneumothorax.
