Intervención del terapista respiratorio en paciente masculino de 36 años con diagnóstico de neumonía nosocomial.

Nosocomial pneumonia is defined as an infection acquired during hospitalization that affects the lung parenchyma and is considered as such if it occurs between 48 and 72 hours after admission or within 7 days after discharge. Determining the type of bacterial pathogenesis and its evolution is of great importance. Early nosocomial pneumonia should be distinguished from late nosocomial pneumonia because the first pneumonia occurs 48 to 96 hours after admission and is poorly described. Nosocomial pneumonia is an infection during hospitalization and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Early nosocomial pneumonia presents bacteria associated with community-acquired pneumonia and other pathogens inhaled during intubation or altered consciousness. On the other hand, late-onset nosocomial pneumonia is caused by inhalation of Gram-negative bacteria present in oropharyngeal secretions and gastric juices. These organisms are difficult to treat with standard medications. The diagnosis of hospital-acquired pneumonia varies from patient to patient. There are a number of diagnostic modalities that are considered difficult to evaluate due to the lack of a clear gold standard for comparison. In general, ventilator-associated pneumonia and hospital considerations are based on certain relationships between clinical and radiographic findings.
