Benefícios da ação precoce da fisioterapia intensiva na reabilitação do paciente com infecção respiratória hospitalar

Abstract

It is known that a respiratory infection is an injury that can affect any individual, regardless of gender or age group, and may cause changes in the natural respiratory process, as well as causing the individual to die, especially the elderly. Hospital care is constantly challenged by infections related to invasive procedures, which result in increased morbidity and mortality, length of hospital stay and high costs of hospitalized patients. The control of hospital infections is a complex and extremely important issue for the proper functioning of the unit, thus evidencing the need to protect both physiotherapy professionals and patients, as well as the implementation of appropriate techniques and procedures in order to to avoid any harm to the patient. Another not less important factor is the cleanliness of the hospital environment. The association of diseases, invasive procedures and iatrogenic factors on the part of the team cause patients to be more affected by infections. The patient's stimulatory response in the treatment of respiratory physiotherapy against the infectious process is also deficient in view of the reduced number of professionals hired in the hospitals. In the patient's immunity, defense mechanisms are compromised by both the motivating disease of hospitalization and the interventions required for diagnosis and treatment. The objective of this study is to describe that the early procedures of Physical Therapy Sessions more quickly ensure the rehabilitation of patients with hospital respiratory infection, especially older
