<br/><br/>REABILITAÇÃO RESPIRATÓRIA DA PESSOA COM VENTILAÇÃO MECÂNICA INVASIVA <br/>

Abstract

Objective: To improve the respiratory performance in the person submitted to invasive mechanical ventilation, through a rehabilitation program. Method: a pilot study, involving the quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional case study methodology applied to people undergoing mechanical ventilation, to an accidental sample of four people. The Glasgow Coma Scale, the Richmond Stimulation and Sedation Scale and the Pain Scale were used, as well as a recording instrument including the parameters of respiratory performance evaluation. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the results obtained. Results: there was improvement in respiratory performance , namely in dynamic compliance , dynamic pulmonary resistance, partial pressure of O2, PH, tidal volume and expired volume, as a result of the rehabilitation program. Conclusion: the improvement of the respiratory performance during the specialized intervention in rehabilitation nursing in these people submitted to invasive mechanical ventilation is proven. Given the limitations of the sample and the design, it is suggested the development of research projects focused on this problem, to confirm the effectiveness of rehabilitation programs in improving the ventilatory performance of these people.
