ABSTRACT

Introduction: In intensive care units, mortality is the best evaluation measure of its performance. Many studies have aimed to assess such a variable. Method: A retrospective observational study was conducted to describe the behavior of variables related with mortality in ventilated patients from June 2007 to June 2011 in the intensive care unit from General Teaching Hospital, in Morón. In this period corroborated 163 patients, 92 of these died. 57 medical histories were evaluated of which data could be obtained to carry out the study. Results: The age of the patients was 63.3 years, with a predominance of males, 9 days ventilated and 10.5 days in the unit. The average value of the APACHE II score was 20.3 points, it expected a mortality rate of 40%; however, the observed mortality was 56%. Predominated non-surgical patients: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute myocardial heart attack. The 11.76% died from multiple organ failure. The ventilator-associated pneumonia appeared as a complication in 45.6% of the cases, it provided a fatality of 63.4%. The 52.6% of the patients received a score between 19 and 24. When calculating the risk of dying it was found a likelihood of 61.6%. Conclusions: The ventilated patient mortality is high, the calculation of the risk of dying is a useful tool.
