ABSTRACT Objectives: to map the benefits of Augmentative and Alternative Communication in ventilated adults in Intensive Care Unit and identify strategies used. Methods: a Scoping Review was carried out according to the Joanna Brigs Institute Protocol. The research question was: “In adult patients ventilated in Intensive Care Units, what are the benefits of Augmentative and Alternative Communication?”. An article research was carried out at PubMed, EBSCOhost and B-On databases. It was held between October and November 2018, from 2013 to 2018, in Portuguese and in English. Results: 61 references were obtained. After selection according to the inclusion criteria, 7 articles were analyzed. Conclusions: studies enunciate Augmentative and Alternative Communication as a strategy to enhance communication, describing methods and tools. There is no agreement on the most effective tool.

Abstract IntroductionMechanical ventilation (MV) is a common and often live-saving intervention on the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). In order to facilitate this intervention, the majority of patients require medical sedation. Optimising sedation is one of the fundamentals of ICU care, and inadequate sedation (predominantly too deep) has consistently been associated with worse outcomes for patients.This article presents the protocol for a scoping review of published literature on the use of ketamine as a sedative to facilitate MV on ICU.The scoping review has been designed to answer the question ‘What is known about the use of ketamine as a continuous infusion to provide sedation in mechanically ventilated adults in the intensive care unit, and what gaps in the evidence exist?’ MethodsThe scoping review protocol has been designed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist and the JBI manual for evidence synthesis. Data will be extracted using a dedicated form, and reviewed by 2 reviewers.Results Results will be tabulated and presented along side descriptive summaries. A PRISMA flow diagram will also be generated.Ethics and DisseminationThis scoping review is designed to map out the literature using existing published articles and does not require ethical approval.Results will be submitted for publication in relevant peer-reviewed journals and to international meetings as well as disseminated to relevant professional groups.
