Background: Patients with severe COVID-19 evolve to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and require management in Intensive Care Units (ICU) where they are exposed to immobilization, immunosuppression, malnutrition, nosocomial infections; may develop ICU Acquired Weakness (ICUAW), which increases with the stay and use of mechanical ventilation (MV).There is evidence of the use of different modalities in rehabilitation to mitigate these effects. Goal: To determine the efficacy of a Multimodal Rehabilitation Program (MRP) in reducing the number of days of mechanical ventilation and stay in patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in ICU, as well as to describe its clinical and hospital characteristics. Material and Methods: An quasi-experimental study was designed, with sequential sampling and without blinding. A control and intervention group was formed, with 32 participants each. A Mult...

Objetivos: Determinar las variables respiratorias asociadas a mortalidad en pacientes que ingresaron a la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos de adultos del Hospital Alberto Sabogal Sologuren, Callao – Perú, ingresados desde el 1 de julio al 31 de setiembre del 2009 con síndrome de distrés respiratorio agudo debido a infección confirmada por virus de la Influenza A (H1N1). Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio de serie de casos, registrándose mediciones diarias de cada una de las variables respiratorias durante los primeros 10 días que recibieron ventilación mecánica invasiva, se estableció el promedio y desviación estándar de los grupos de pacientes sobrevivientes y no sobrevivientes, luego se buscó si esta diferencia es estadísticamente significativa. Resultados: De los 10 pacientes del estudio, sobrevivieron 4; en el transcurso de los días el agravamiento de las vari...
