Efectividad de la hiperinsuflación manual como técnica de fisioterapia respiratoria en neumonía nosocomial post ventilación mecánica en pacientes de 40 a 65 años en área de UCI del hospital Teodoro Maldonado Carbo- IESS desde el año 2020 a 2022.

Abstract

Nosocomial pneumonia associated with mechanical ventilation is an infection associated with health care. The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of manual hyperinflation in post-mechanical ventilation nosocomial pneumonia in patients from 40 to 65 years of age in the ICU area of the Teodoro Maldonado Carbo-IESS hospital. Material and methods: The scope was descriptive, observational, with a quantitative approach, non-experimental cross-sectional design. The population was 920 patients with a diagnosis of nosocomial pneumonia using manual hyperinflation in the age group of 40-60 years of age; according to the inclusion criteria and the sample of 537 patients was established. Results: It was found that 54% of the population in the ICU suffered from nosocomial pneumonia, 542 patients (59%) corresponded to the male gender and 378 (41%) to the female gender, of the 537 people, 297 remained alive and the hospital stay was 7-13 days compared to the drainage technique, which was barely 177, and the hospital stay was 12 to 28 days. Conclusion: The hyperinflation technique for nosocomial pneumonia should be considered as the first choice treatment since it is 10% more effective than drainage and further shortens the hospital stay.
