Abstract :
The main objective of this study was to
determine the risk factors associated with lower
respiratory infection due to mechanical ventilation.
Methodology: Systematic review that consisted of the
observation and deepening of a series of realities and
theoretical reflections, the search engines of Pubmed,
Medigraphic, Scielo, Elsevier, Dialnet, Medline were
used, 25 articles were selected and the published ones
were used as inclusion criteria between 2015-2020 in
English, Portuguese and Spanish whose keywords were:
risk factors, lower respiratory infections, NAVM,
mechanical ventilation. Results: The average age of the
patients in the studies was 60 years; In relation to the
associated factors, the number of days with MV stands
out, which on average in the studies was 8, the most
common microorganisms P. aeruginosa with 77% and
Klebsiella pneumonia with 62%. Conclusions: The risk
factors are multiple, they manifest in each case
according to the characteristics of the patients, so that
lower respiratory infections are effectively associated
with mechanical ventilation, but the level of complication
is manifested from the conditions specific to each patient
such as age, associated comorbidities and exposure to
mechanical ventilation.
