Abstract
There are several risk factors can lead to pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation both, intrinsic and extrinsic, and the percentage of pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation is increasing, which is why medical personnel have a tough fight to try to reduce this problem.Objective: To determine the predisposing factors that lead patients to pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation in the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo Hospital’s Intensive Care Unit during the period 2018 -2019.Materials and Methods: positivist paradigm, quantitative approach; field modality, not experimental. Descriptive and transversal. The population was 285 patients and the sample of 60, selected in a probabilistic and systematic way. The technique was the survey and the instrument was the questionnaire with 15 items, reviewed and validated by expert judgments on the subject, which gave a reliability of 95%.Results: It was evident that the predominant factors that increase the risks of suffering from AVM are extrinsic elements, among them the most common are prolonged intubation, re-intubations, aspiration of secretions and the transfer of the patient. While those of the intrinsic factor are malnutrition, age and ethnicity.Conclusion: the importance of a timely diagnosis and following the biosafety standards established before, during and after the intubation process was evidenced as a mechanism to decrease the probability that the patient develops a VAP
