ABSTRACT

Introduction: Pneumonia is a frequent complication of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) that increases mortality and hospital stay.
Objective: To study the incidence of pneumonia in patients with IMV.
Design: Retrospective study.
Setting: ICU of a private general hospital of San Luis Potosi City, Mexico.
Patients and methods: All patients admitted to the ICU from July 1st 2002 to June 30th 2004 who required IMV were studied. We collected demographic data, diagnosis, IMV length, use of drugs, details about intubation, and sputum culture results. During the study period, 66 patients required IMV for more than 48 hours; 10 patients who already had pneumonia at admission were excluded. The incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) was 33% (22 cases), that were compared with 34 controls. Risk factors with statistical significance were one or more reintubations, tracheostomy and IMV for more than 5 days.
