Intervención del terapista respiratorio en paciente femenino de 80 años con diagnóstico de neumonía nosocomial.

Nosocomial pneumonia was defined as an infection acquired during hospitalization that affected the lung parenchyma and was considered as such if it occurred between 48 and 72 hours after admission or 7 days after discharge. Determining the type of bacterial etiology and its evolution is of great importance. It is necessary to distinguish between early nosocomial pneumonia and late nosocomial pneumonia because the first pneumonia develops between 48 and 96 hours after admission and has not yet been fully characterized. Nosocomial pneumonia is an infection during hospitalization and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Early nosocomial pneumonia presents with bacteria associated with community-acquired pneumonia and other pathogens inhaled during intubation or impaired consciousness. On the other hand, late-onset nosocomial pneumonia is caused by inhalation of Gram-negative bacteria present in oropharyngeal secretions and gastric juice. These organisms are difficult to treat with standard medications. The diagnosis of hospital-acquired pneumonia varies from patient to patient. There are a variety of diagnostic modalities that can be considered difficult to assess due to the lack of a clear gold standard for comparison. In general, hospital-acquired and ventilator-associated pneumonia considerations are based on certain relationships between clinical and radiographic findings.
