The quality indicators were in line with international recommendations. The severity was determined by the scale SAPS III.ResultsIndicator of ventilation associated pneumonia was below the recommended standard (11.7 vs. 12 per thousand), bacteremia related central venous catheter in accepted ranges (5.7 vs. 4 per thousand). The ulcer prophylaxis, prevention of pulmonary embolism and prevention of falls in high compliance proportions (> 90, > 95 % and 0 falls). The rates of unplanned extubation and re-intubation below indicators (< 1 per thousand days intubation and < 12 %). While indicators varied by classification of severity of the condition, the goals were met. Mortality was lower than that estimated by gravity.ConclusionIn this therapy the implementation of internationally recommended actions has helped maintain an adequate quality of care. The effort has impacted not only the patients with acute conditions of admission, but also patients with high mortality or Hazard.
