INTERPROFESSIONAL ACTION IN PREVENTING PNEUMONIA ASSOCIATED WITH MECHANICAL VENTILATION IN INTENSIVE CARE UNITS
Pneumonia Associated with Mechanical Ventilation. Hospital Infection. Mechanical Ventilation. Adult. Intensive Care Unit.
The Intensive Care Unit is a sector destined to patients seriously ill with ventilatory support performed by Ventilação Mechanical invasive, most of the time, which is one of the technologies used to ensure hemodynamic stability and adequate oxygenation. Pneumonia Associated with Mechanical Ventilation, with the adverse event related to Invasive Mechanical Ventilation , is a very common infection of the lung parenchyma that affects critical patients with a considerable morbidity and mortality rate. A strategy that has been successfully adopted to prevent this pathology is related to the implementation protocols, built and applied collectively that can encourage professionals to adhere to the recommended measures. In this perspective the role interprofessional has been an important element to produce these health actions considering the complexity of the health-disease. In this context, this research aims to understand how interprofessional action could be configured as a strategy for the prevention of Pneumonia Associated with Mechanical Ventilation in an Intensive Care Unit . It is a qualitative research of the convergent care type . The study scenario will be the Adult Intensive Therapy Unit of a university hospital, with nurses, nursing technicians , physiotherapists and doctors as participants . The researcher is part of the professional team in this scenario, which meets the Convergent Care Research by requiring the researcher to be immersed in the study site and their direct relationship with the participants. The collection and production d and data will be held by means of sequential steps. Initially, it will be applied structured questionnaire professionals, containing open and closed questions able to identify the knowledge and practices to prevent Pneumonia Ventilator - Associated, in addition to raising approaches interprofessional performance and collaborative work .Then, data will be collected on the incidence density rate of this infection in the Intensive Care Unit, provided by the Hospital Infection Control Commission. Subsequently , convergence groups will be held with the participating professionals , contemplating educational actions that address the most relevant themes presented in the questionnaires , at a time of discussion and exchange of knowledge among the participants in order to support the collective construction of a protocol . The analysis of the data from the questionnaires will be of the descriptive type , while the data produced in the convergence groups will be analyzed following the phases of apprehension, synthesis, theorization and data transfer, at which time the Atlas Ti version 8.0 software will be used. It is hoped that the results of this research will contribute to standardize the preventive actions of Associated Pneumonia Mechanical ventilation in the unit Terapia Intensive the dulto emphasizing the role cross , reflecting the quality of assistência and patient safety.
