Perspectives on invasive and noninvasive ventilatory support for critically ill
patients are evolving, as much evidence indicates that ventilation may have positive
effects on patient survival and the quality of the care provided in intensive care
units in Brazil. For those reasons, the Brazilian Association of Intensive Care
Medicine (Associação de Medicina Intensiva Brasileira - AMIB) and
the Brazilian Thoracic Society (Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e
Tisiologia - SBPT), represented by the Mechanical Ventilation Committee
and the Commission of Intensive Therapy, respectively, decided to review the
literature and draft recommendations for mechanical ventilation with the goal of
creating a document for bedside guidance as to the best practices on mechanical
ventilation available to their members. The document was based on the available
evidence regarding 29 subtopics selected as the most relevant for the subject of
interest. The project was developed in several stages, during which the selected
topics were distributed among experts recommended by both societies with recent
publications on the subject of interest and/or significant teaching and research
activity in the field of mechanical ventilation in Brazil. The experts were divided
into pairs that were charged with performing a thorough review of the international
literature on each topic. All the experts met at the Forum on Mechanical Ventilation,
which was held at the headquarters of AMIB in São Paulo on August 3 and 4, 2013, to
collaboratively draft the final text corresponding to each sub-topic, which was
presented to, appraised, discussed and approved in a plenary session that included
all 58 participants and aimed to create the final document.

SummaryBackground: Diabetes and cardiovascular disease have emerged as key threats to human health, and the risk is increased in individuals with visceral obesity. The consensus is that physical exercise should be part of the treatment of diabetes mellitus (DM).
RESUMO JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Em 2000, foi publicado o II Consenso Brasileiro de Ventilação Mecânica. Desde então, o conhecimento na área da ventilação mecânica avançou rapidamente, com a publicação de numerosos estudos clínicos que acrescentaram informações importantes para o manejo de pacientes críticos em ventilação artifi cial. Além disso, a expansão do conceito de Medicina Baseada em Evidências determinou a hierarquização das recomendações clínicas, segundo o rigor metodológico dos estudos que as embasaram. Essa abordagem explícita vem ampliando a compreensão e a aplicação das recomendações clínicas. Por esses motivos, a AMIB -Associação de Medicina Intensiva Brasileira -e a SBPT -Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisiologia -julgaram conveniente a atualização das recomendações descritas no Consenso anterior. Dentre os tópicos selecionados a Ventilação Mecânica Não-Invasiva foi um dos temas propostos. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever os pontos mais importantes relacionados à ventilação mecânica na forma não-invasiva (VMNI) e sugerir as principais indicações dessa modalidade. MÉTODO: Objetivou-se chegar a um documento suficientemente sintético, que refl etisse a melhor evidência disponível na literatura. A revisão bibliográfi ca baseouse na busca de estudos através de palavras-chave e the keywords "non-invasive mechanical ventilation". RESULTS: Recommendations on the non-invasive mechanical ventilation during respiratory failure and weaning are presented. CONCLUSIONS: Non-invasive mechanical ventilation is the main form of ventilatory support during exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and in acute pulmonary edema patients.
A psitacose, também conhecida como ornitose, é causada pela Chlamydia psittaci; caracteriza-se por doença de início insidioso, sintomas brandos e inespecíficos, lembrando infecção de vias aéreas superiores. Acomete principalmente o pulmão, sendo raramente doença sistêmica e fatal. Descreve-se um caso raro de pneumonia por Chlamydia psittaci que evoluiu para insuficiência respiratória aguda, necessitando de ventilação mecânica. Destaca-se a importância em considerar o diagnóstico, especialmente em casos de pneumonia comunitária que evolui de modo insatisfatório, que não responde à terapia antimicrobiana e cuja epidemiologia é positiva para exposição às aves. O diagnóstico precoce é fundamental devido à excelente resposta terapêutica. O diagnóstico tardio pode levar a curso grave e fatal da doença.

Psittacosis, also known as ornithosis, is a disease caused by Chlamydia psittaci. The most common clinical presentation is insidious onset, mild symptoms resembling a nonspecific viral illness and preference for the lungs. It is rarely a systemic and fatal disease. It is described a rare case of pneumonia due to Chlamydia psittaci that progressively developed into respiratory failure, requiring mechanical ventilation. It is very important to consider psittacosis in cases of
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
