Evolution of intensive care medicine in the last few decades and integrating teamwork has a major impact on increasing the rate of survival of patients. All the attention of the responsible team is not only aimed at treating the underlying disease, but also to decrease complications associated with prolonged stay in the ICU. The most common complications are: deconditioning, muscle weakness, polyneuropathy, myopathy, thromboembolic complications, decubital wound, artculation stiffness, cognitive disorders, depression, anxiety and a global reduction in quality of life. Physical therapy has its place in the earliest stages of treatment of mechanically ventilated patients. The aim of this article is to review the evidence for the use of rehabilitation in ICU in the adult mechanically ventilated patients. Early and systematically structured rehabilitation programs have been shown to be both safe and feasible for critical care populations.

Objetivo: Avaliar o conhecimento acerca dos cuidados bucais realizados por enfermeiros a pacientes ventilados mecanicamente. Método: Estudo transversal, realizado em um hospital escola de Goiânia/Goiás. A coleta de dados deu-se por meio de questionário estruturado. Resultados: Os enfermeiros conhecem as medidas recomendadas sobre higiene bucal. Os fatores dificultadores encontrados foram a falta de pessoal (21,7%), falta de tempo (16,7%) e trabalhos burocráticos (15%). Contudo ainda existem lacunas no que se refere a produtos e materiais utilizados na higiene bucal. Conclusão: As Lacunas e os fatores dificultadores sinalizados nesse estudo merecem reflexão, como forma de avaliar a qualidade do cuidado oferecido.Descritores: Biofilme; Higiene Bucal; Cuidados de enfermagem.ORAL CARE IN MECHANICALLY VENTILATED PATIENTS: KNOWLEDGE OF NURSES FROM A SCHOOL HOSPITALObjective: To evaluate the knowledge about oral care performed by nurses in mechanically ventilated patients. Methods: a cross-sectional study, conducted in a teaching hospital of Goiania/Goias. The data collection was performed by means of a structured questionnaire. Results: The nurses know the measures recommended on oral hygiene. The complicating factors found were the lack of personnel (21.7%), lack of time (16.7%) and work on tape (15%). However there are still gaps in relation to products and materials used in oral hygiene. Conclusion: The gaps and the factors complicating factors indicated in this study deserve consideration, as a means of evaluating the quality of care offered.Keywords: Biofilm; Oral hygiene; Nursing care.CUIDADO ORAL EN PACIENTES CON VENTILACIÓN MECÁNICA: EL CONOCIMIENTO DE LAS ENFERMERAS DEL HOSPITAL ESCUELAObjetivo: Evaluar el conocimiento sobre el cuidado bucal realizadas por enfermeras en pacientes ventilados mecánicamente.

Abstract Background: Critically ill patients are vulnerable to corneal injury and the incidence of this adverse event remains high in these patients. Randomized clinical trials have been assessing different types of interventions, hindering nurses' clinical practice for the prevention of corneal injury in critically ill patients. The aim of this systematic review is to identify the most effective nursing interventions to prevent corneal injury in critically ill sedated and mechanically ventilated patients.Methods: A systematic review of intervention studies will be conducted and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses 2020, in the following electronic databases: Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Central, Embase, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Livivo, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science. The search of the grey literature will be undertaken on Google Scholar. No language or year of publication restrictions will be applied for the selection of primary studies. Study selection and data extraction will be performed by two independent reviewers who will screen the titles and abstracts of the retrieved papers to assess the studies for inclusion. Disagreements between reviewers, during study selection, will be resolved by discussion with a third reviewer. The inclusion criteria will be epidemiologic intervention studies evaluating nursing interventions to prevent or decrease the occurrence of corneal injury in critically ill sedated and mechanically ventilated patients. Methodological quality of the studies will be assessed using the Risk of Bias and Robins-2 tools. Quality of evidence will be assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system. Discussion: this study has a potencial to identify the most effective nursing interventions for prevention corneal injury in critically ill sedated and mechanically ventilated patients.Systematic review registration: The protocol of this research is approved in PROSPERO under protocol No. 253289.
