“…Como observado neste trabalho, dois hospitais com especialidades clínicas obtiveram a média de 4 dias de permanência, o que demonstra menor tempo na ocupação do leito comparado a outros estudos (Oliveira, 2010;Oliveira, Dias, Mello, Araújo, Dragosavac & Nucci, 2010) e maior rotatividade nas internações.…”

“…2 The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) has become, since then, an important resource for the treatment, recovery or maintenance of physiological functions in critically ill patients or potentially severe cases that need continuous and specialized care, such as permanent monitoring of vital signs, drug support and specialized support, including mechanical ventilators and hemodialysis machines to recover some organic insufficiencies. 3,4 In Brazil, the first ICUs were implemented in the 1970s, in order to gather severe recoverable patients in a hospital area with human resources and specific equipment and materials intended for the care of these patients. 3 Currently, ICUs play a decisive role in the chance of survival of critically ill patients, victims of trauma or any other type of life threatening situation.…”

Studies show an increasing relevance of intensive care due to more cases arising from civil violence and the increasing longevity of the population.…”

Objective: To characterize the epidemiological profile of the hospitalized population in the ICU of Hospital das Clínicas de Marília (Famema). Method: A retrospective, descriptive and quantitative study. Data regarding patients admitted to the ICU Famema was obtained from the Technical Information Center (Núcleo Técnico de Informações, NTI, Famema). For data analysis, we used the distribution of absolute and relative frequencies with simple statistical treatment. Results: 2,022 ICU admissions were recorded from June 2010 to July 2012 with 1,936 being coded according to the ICD-10. The epidemiological profile comprised mostly males (57.91%), predominantly seniors ≥ 60 years (48.89%), at an average age of 56.64 years (±19.18), with limited formal education (63.3% complete primary school), mostly white (77.10%), Catholic (75.12%), from the city of Marília, state of São Paulo, Brazil (53.81%). The average occupancy rate was 94.42%. The predominant cause of morbidity was diseases of the circulatory system with 494 admissions (25.5%), followed by traumas and external causes with 446 admissions (23.03%) and neoplasms with 213 admissions (11.00%). The average stay was 8.09 days (±10.73). The longest average stay was due to skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases, with average stay of 12.77 days (±17.07). There were 471 deaths (24.32%), mainly caused by diseases of the circulatory system (30.99%). The age group with the highest mortality was the range from 70 to 79 years with 102 deaths (21.65%). Conclusion:The ICU Famema presents an epidemiological profile similar to other intensive care units in Brazil and worldwide, despite the few studies available in the literature. Thus, we feel in tune with the treatment of critical care patients.

“…The aging population creates greater demand for private health care system, public or philanthropic due to increased comorbid chronic degenerative and susceptibility to infection and the occurrence of falls, depression, decreased hearing, vision and cognitive functional disorders [10][11] . The increase in this demand requires qualified professionals to improve the quality of care in intravenous therapy.…”

“…In relation to catheter-related bloodstream infections, there is insufficient data to compare rates among adults and elderly or demonstrating the susceptibility of the elderly to this complication 11,27 . A Brazilian multicenter study that examined risk factors for bloodstream infections related to catheters in six intensive care units, with 555 adult patients (18 years), using CVC (total of 928 catheters), concluded that the age is not associated with increased bloodstream infections 27 .…”
