ABSTRACT

Artificial mechanical ventilation is a support for the critically ill patient in intensive care unit. One of the biggest problems in patients with acute respiratory failure in ventilatory support is the presence of respiratory secretions. They cause obstruction of the artificial airway, trachea and bronchus, altering the gas flow to and from the alveoli also they become a predisposing factor in the genesis of atelectasis and pneumonia associated to artificial mechanical ventilation. Conventional therapies such as hydration, antibiotics, steroids, mucolytic agents, respiratory physiotherapy, bronchodilators, and blind endotracheal aspirations are not entirely effective.A controlled experimental study was carried out where they were demonstrated the benefits of the procedure to be less moderate and abundant respiratory secretions after the fourth day of ventilation.
