Therefore, this article aims to describe the profile of individuals hospitalized for external causes in an Intensive Care Units (ICUs) who underwent a culture test and identify the main microorganisms that cause infection. Methods: a cross-sectional study carried out with patients suffering from external causes, admitted to an ICU of a general hospital in Bahia.

Results: a total of 259 admissions to the ICU due to external causes were identified, of which 59 (22.78%) underwent cultures, of which 48 (81.35%) were men, 43 (72.88%) were brown, 32 (54.24%) did not have a partner and 35 (59.32%) suffered transport accidents. Regarding the use of devices, 54 (91.52%) patients were on invasive mechanical ventilation, 54 (91.50%) used an indwelling urinary catheter and 54 (91.52%) had a central venous catheter. The main microorganisms identified in the culture were of the genera Staphylococcus (17; 28.9%) and Pseudomonas (10; 16.9%). Conclusion: it is concluded that admissions to ICU resulting from external causes in patients who underwent culture were of men, who suffered transport accidents, used invasive devices, and the main infections are related to microorganisms of the genus Staphylococcus. 2024 artículo científico 2238-3360 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=570477720005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570477720005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570477720005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570477720005/570477720005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5704/570477720005/movil 10.17058/reci.v14i1.18977 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.1 Vol.14 |
