Trocador de calor e umidade: proteção contra infecções pulmonares? Estudo piloto

Abstract: | The aim of this study was to conduct a bacteriological research comparing the aqueous heated humidification systems (HH) and filter heat and moisture exchanger (FHME) and to bacterial colonization and the incidence of respiratory infection in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation. It is a prospective, controlled trial, in that 15 intensive care unit (ICU) patients were divided into two groups. The first made use of HH (n=7) and the other, FHME (n=8). We collected samples of tracheal secretions, and cond… Show more

“…19 This correlation can be justified because the filter provides a barrier between the patient and the mechanical ventilator. 20 It was verified that the incidence of VAP in this study was 100 (10.58%) patients out of the 945 check-ups, that is, below that reported in the literature. The microorganisms Enterobacter cloace and Serratia marcenscens were identified in six (0.63%) cases.…”
