25. Risk factors for nosocomial infection in trauma patients
Several factors are implicated in the increased vulnerability of multiple trauma victims to infection, especially in intensive care-units (ICU). This cohort study was designed to report the incidence, the topography, the etiology and to identify the risk factors for infection in trauma patients admitted in an ICU. From January 2000 to December 2001, 416 trau

26. A influencia da traqueostomia no tempo de ventilação mecanica, internação hospitalar e incidencia de pneumonia em pacientes com traumatismo craniencefalico / The influence of tracheostomy in the mechanical ventilation time, incidence of pulmonary infection and hospital length of stay in patients with traumatic brain injury
Tracheostomy has been performed frequently in ventilator-dependent patients in intensive care unit (ICU). Some authors believe that early tracheostomy can reduce mechanical ventilation (MV) time and can provide other associated benefits. However, its influence on weaning from MV is not clear in pacients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The aim of this stud

27. Pneumonia em pacientes sob ventilação mecânica por Staphylococcus aureus resistentes à Meticilina, internados em UTI de adultos : aspectos microbiológicos, clínicos e epidemiológicos
Objectives: Investigate the participation of the S. aureus, as etiological agent of the pneumonias associated to the mechanical ventilation (PAVs) and evaluate the colonization as risk factor of PAV and the prognostic of the treatment when correct or incorrect. Material and Methods: The study was prospective, longitudinal, performed from March/2005 to Februa

28. InfecÃÃo hospitalar em unidade de terapia intensiva pediÃtrica / Healthcare-associated infection in a poaediatric intensive therapy unit
This thesis is presented in the form of three articles, the aim of which was to identify risk factors for healthcare-associated infection (HAI) in a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and estimate the effect of these factors on the time elapsed until the first episode of bloodstream infection, confirmed by laboratory exams (BSI-LCBI). The first article is

29. Epidemiological, clinical and laboratorial aspects of respiratory syncytial virus infection in hospitalized infants / Aspectos epidemiologicos, clinicos e laboratoriais da infecção pelo virus sincicial respiratorio em crianças menores de um ano, internadas com doeça respiratoria aguda
In pediatrics, acute respiratory infections are the most common cause of hospitalization. The Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the main agent responsible for these infections that are clinically manifested as bronchiolitis or pneumonia Severe cases occur mostly in premature patients who have chronic pneumopathies, cardiopathies and immunodeficiencies. So

30. Cost-effectiveness of linezolid versus vancomycin in mechanical ventilation-associated nosocomial pneumonia caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus
Linezolid, an oxazolidinone-class antimicrobial agent, is a new drug; its use has frequently been questioned due to its high price. However, recent trials have demonstrated that the use of linezolid in mechanical ventilation-associated nosocomial pneumonia caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VAP-MRSA) may be justified due to its improved e

31. Diagnostic investigation of ventilator-associated pneumonia using bronchoalveolar lavage: comparative study with a postmortem lung biopsy
The purpose of the present study was to validate the quantitative culture and cellularity of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) for the diagnosis of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). A prospective validation test trial was carried out between 1992 and 1997 in a general adult intensive care unit of a teaching hospital. Thirty-seven patients on mechanical venti

32. Validação do lavado broncoalveolar como recurso diagnostico para as pneumonias associadas a ventilação mecanica : estudo comparativo com a biopsia pulmonar post-mortem
The purpose of the present study was to validate bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) the quantitative culture and cellularity aiming ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) diagnosis. A prospective validation test trial was carried out between 1992 and 1997 in a general adult intensive care unit of a teaching hospital. Thirty seven patients under mechanical ventilati

33. Avaliação dos achados no efluente do lavado broncoalveolar nos pacientes com suspeita clinica de pneumonia associada a ventilação mecanica
The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of V AP in 1423 patients under mechanical ventilation, based on the results of quantitative culture of the fluid retrieved through BAL. Sensitivity and specificity of the Gram stain, as well as the cellular study, comprising total cellularity and the percentage of alveolar macrophages and neutrophils, were

34. Non-invasive mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: correlates for success.
BACKGROUND--Non-invasive mechanical ventilation is increasingly used in the treatment of acute respiratory failure in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was to identify simple parameters to predict the success of this technique. METHODS--Fifty nine episodes of acute respiratory failure in 47 patients with COPD t

35. Prognostic factors influencing the outcome in pneumocystis carinii pneumonia in patients with AIDS.
BACKGROUND--Studies attempting to identify the prognostic factors that influence the outcome of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) in patients with AIDS using a multivariate analysis are few. In order to identify those prognostic factors amenable to medical intervention, univariate and multivariate analyses were performed on 102 patients with AIDS sufferin

36. Incidence, risk factors and mortality of nosocomial pneumonia in Intensive Care Units: A prospective study
To determine the frequency, risk factors and mortality of nosocomial pneumonia a prospective study was conducted in the intensive care units. In the study period, 2402 patients were included. The nosocomial pneumonia was defined according to the Centers for Disease Control Criteria. Overall, 163 (6.8%) of the patients developed nosocomial pneumonia and 75.5%
