Os autores tiveram como objectivo avaliar a ventilação mecânica prolongada (VMP) (³ 15 dias) tendo em consideração: - grupos de diagnóstico, gravidade e sobrevivência.De 1990 a 2002 todos os doentes submetidos a ventilação mecânica (VM) admitidos na nossa UCI foram incluÃdos. Os doentes com VM ³ 15 e 0.05Dos doentes com VMP que tiveram alta (n=236), 13 (5,5%) ficaram dependentes de VM invasiva; 26 (11%) faleceram após 40,1±38 meses e 104 (44%) estavam vivos ao fim de 21±29,9 meses após a alta.Em conclusão os doentes com VMP tiveram uma maior taxa de mortalidade durante o internamento na UCI. apesar de terem APACHE II idênticos. Daqueles que sobreviveram somente 5,5% ficaram dependentes VM invasiva. No follow-up 44% dos doentes com VMP estavam vivos após 21 meses. : Our aim was to evaluate prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) (³ 15 days) in what concerns:- diagnostic groups, severity and survival.During 1990-2002 all mechanically ventilated (MV) patients admitted in the study period were included. MV ³ 15 and 0.05From discharged patients (n=236), 13 (5,5%) were dependent on invasive MV; 26 (11%) died in a 40,1±38 months period and 104 (44%) were alive in 21±29,9 months after discharge.In conclusion in spite of a similar APACHE II, PMV patients had higher ICU mortality rate. From survivors only 5,5% rested dependent on invasive MV. The follow-up of PMV showed a 44% survival rate at more or less 21 months.
