13. Clinical and microbiological characterization of pneumonia in mechanically ventilated patients
OBJECTIVE: To characterize mechanical ventilation-associated pneumonia (MVAP). METHOD: This is an observational descriptive study to characterize MVAP in 61 ventilated patients admitted in the intensive care units of the Hermanos Ameijeiras hospital during 2011. This study also aimed to isolate the bacteria causing MVAP and characterize their resistance to a

14. Implications of extubation failure and prolonged mechanical ventilation in the postoperative period following elective intracranial surgery
Patients undergoing neurosurgery are predisposed to a variety of complications related to mechanical ventilation (MV). There is an increased incidence of extubation failure, pneumonia, and prolonged MV among such patients. The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of extubation failure and prolonged MV on the following variables: postoperative

15. Pneumonias com e sem ventilação mecânica em neonatos críticos internados em uma UTI neonatal de um hospital universitário brasileiro : aspectos clínicos, radiológicos e microbiológicos
Although pneumonia is considered serious and frequent in NICU, there are few studies, mainly about those associated to mechanical ventilation. The aim of the study was epidemiological, considering the evaluation of pneumonia associated or not to mechanical ventilation diagnosed by clinical, radiological and microbiological in critically neonates hospitalized

16. Mortality among patients with tuberculosis requiring intensive care: a retrospective cohort study
Background: To describe the characteristics of patients with tuberculosis (TB) requiring intensive care and to identify the factors that predicts in-hospital mortality in a city of a developing country with intermediate-to-high TB endemicity. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, cohort study, between November 2005 and November 2007. The patients with TB re

17. Reabilitação da deglutição: tempo e fatores prognósticos em pacientes disfágicos hospitalizados / Swallowing rehabilitation:duration and prognostic factors in dysphagic hospitalized patients.
Purpose: To analyze the average number of swallowing rehabilitation sessions necessary for the release of oral intake, at least one consistency, and the factors that influenced the number of swallowing rehabilitation sessions. Methods: An observational, analytical and retrospective study of 260 dysphagic patients with different diagnosis, neurological or not

18. Epidemiologia de pneumonias associadas à ventilação mecânica por Pseudomonas aeruginosa em pacientes internados na unidade de terapia intensiva de adultos de um hospital universitário brasileiro
Pneumonia associada à ventilação mecânica (PAV) é a infecção hospitalar mais frequente em unidades de terapia intensiva e Pseudomonas aeruginosa é o principal agente etiológico. O objetivo do estudo foi realizar um estudo epidemiológico de PAVs por Pseudomonas aeruginosa, com ênfase em aspectos na sua natureza endêmica e epidêmica, etiologia, vi

19. Study of the pneumococcal pneumonia of the childrens hospitalized in the pediatrics ward at the University Hospital of the University of São Paulo / Estudo das pneumonias causadas por Streptococcus pneumoniae em crianças internadas na enfermaria de pediatria do Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo
Introduction: Currently, the annual incidence of the acquired pneumonia in the developing country communities are around 150.7 million cases, among childrens under 5 years of age, and 11 to 20 million (7-13%) of those require hospitalization due to their gravity. In general, the treatments used to be empirical, however, it is important to be noted that Strep

20. Concentrações de mediadores inflamatórios em crianças com idade inferior a três meses e infecção do trato respiratório inferior pelo vírus sincicial respiratório / Concentrations of inflammatory mediators in children less than three months of age with respiratory syncytial virus lower respiratory tract infection
INTRODUCTION: The high frequency and morbimortality of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) in children, besides the lack of studies in Brazil that evolutionally correlate the inflammatory response in respiratory epithelium and in peripheral blood with RSV respiratory disease severity, have stimulated this research.

21. Risk factors and evolution of Ventilator-associated pneumonia by Staphylococcus aureus sensitive or resistant to oxacillin in patients at the intensive care unit of a Brazilian University Hospital
This study investigated the participation and risk factors of VAP by resistant (ORSA) or sensitive (OSSA) S. aureus to oxacillin and evaluated the implications of adequate or inadequate empirical antimicrobial therapeutics in its evolution in patients interned in a mixing ICU of adults. A patient control-case study with PAVs by ORSA and OSSA was carried out

22. Ventilator-associated pneumonia in an adult clinical-surgical intensive care unit of a Brazilian university hospital: incidence, risk factors, etiology, and antibiotic resistance
The objective of this study was to evaluate clinical characteristics, etiology, and resistance to antimicrobial agents, among patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). A case study vs. patients control under mechanical ventilation and hospitalized into clinical-surgical adults ICU of HC-UFU was performed from March/2005 to March/2006. Patients und

23. Epidemiological and microbiological analysis of ventilator-associated pneumonia patients in a public teaching hospital
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most commonly-acquired infection in patients in intensive care units. We analyzed epidemiological and microbiological characteristics and the outcome, in a cohort of critically-ill patients with confirmed diagnosis of VAP. All patients who had been on mechanical ventilation (MV) for more than 48 hours were include

24. Multivariate analysis of the factors associated with the risk of pneumonia in intensive care units
Pneumonia is the most frequent hospital infection in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) and is also responsible for the highest lethality rates, as well as an increase in both the duration and costs of hospitalization. The objective of this study was to identify predisposing factors for pneumonia. A prospective cohort study was carried out betwe
