However, it has become the main place of hospital infections occurrence, increasing morbidity, mortality and care costs, representing an important public health problem in the recent years. Thus, this study aims to identify the profile of patients with hospital-acquired infections in the Adult ICU of a public hospital in the Federal District, Brazil. Method: This is a retrospective and descriptive study, with quantitative approach. Data were collected directly from patients’ electronic medical records. Results: We found 51 patients with cross infection, predominantly male and older adults; 24 from the hospital itself, 21 from other hospitals and 6 from Emergency Care Units. The main reason for hospitalization was clinical (76.4%). Regarding topography, 23 patients had pneumonia and 18 had urinary tract infections. The mean length of hospital stay was 31 days and the mortality rate was 37.2%. Conclusion: As important as the investment in state-of-the-art technology in intensive care is to know the profile of critically ill patients; as it can assist nurses in admission guidelines, nursing diagnosis and discharges. 2020 artículo científico 2238-3360 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=570469752011 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570469752011/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570469752011/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570469752011/570469752011.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570469752011/movil https://doi.org/10.17058/reci.v10i4.13103. en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5704 Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção application/pdf Universidade de Santa Cruz do Sul Revista de Epidemiologia e Controle de Infecção (Brasil) Num.4 Vol.10 |
